The ICD-10-CM guidelines define a sequela as “the residual effect (condition produced) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated.” The general coding guidelines in ICD-10-CM for coding of sequelae are essentially the same as coding of late effects in ICD-9-CM and are as follows:
Maresh et al (2011) stated that sialoendoscopy is a new technology being used at a limited number of institutions for the diagnosis and management of obstructive sialadenitis.
Submandibular sialadenitis is inflammation of the submandibular gland, which is caused by salivary stasis that leads to retrograde seeding of bacteria from the oral cavity. Sialadenosis is a benign,non-inflammatory swelling of salivary glands usually associated with metabolic conditions.
Classically, HIV parotitis is either asymptomatic or a non-painful swelling, which is not characteristic of sialadenitis. Some common bacterial causes are S. aureus, S. pyogenes, viridans streptococci and H.
A salivary gland infection is also called sialadenitis and is caused by bacteria or viruses. A salivary stone or other blockage of the salivary gland duct can contribute to an acute infection. Chronic inflammation of a salivary gland can cause it to stop functioning.
Sialadenitis refers to the inflammation of a salivary gland, which produces saliva to aid in digestion. The condition is most common among elderly adults and mostly affects the parotid and submandibular glands.

What Causes Sialadenitis? Sialadenitis can be caused by a viral infection (such as mumps), bacterial infection, or an autoimmune disease such as Sjogren's syndrome (see below). Bacterial infections can happen when the flow of saliva is blocked due to stones in the salivary duct or a narrowing of the duct.
Sialadenosis usually occurs in association with a variety of conditions including diabetes mellitus, alcoholism,[4] endocrine disorders, pregnancy, drugs, bulimia,[5] eating disorders, idiopathic, ect. Most patients present were between 40 and 70 years of age.
Initial treatment for sialadenitis is with antibiotics active against S. aureus (eg, dicloxacillin, 250 mg orally 4 times a day, a 1st-generation cephalosporin, or clindamycin), modified according to culture results. With the increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.
The most common cause of swollen salivary glands, salivary stones are buildups of crystallized saliva deposits. Sometimes salivary stones can block the flow of saliva. When saliva can't exit through the ducts, it backs up into the gland, causing pain and swelling.

The classic treatment of sialolithiasis is antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents, hoping for a spontaneous stone expression through the papilla. In cases of submandibular stones located close to Wharton papillae, a marsupialization (sialodochoplasty) is performed and the stone removed.
Medical Care. Most episodes of chronic parotitis are treated symptomatically. Sialogogues, local heat, gentle massage of the gland from posterior to anterior, and hydration provide variable symptomatic relief. When pus is expressed from the Stensen duct, culture and sensitivity studies guide antibiotic selection.

Viral parotitis can be caused by paramyxovirus (mumps), Epstein-Barr virus, coxsackievirus, and influenza A and parainfluenza viruses. Acute suppurative parotitis is generally caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species, and rarely, gram-negative bacteria.
For health care associated parotitis, broad spectrum antibiotics are recommended as mentioned in Table 3. Cefoxitin, imipenem, ertapenem, the combination of a penicillin plus beta-lactamase (amoxicillin/clavulanate, ampicillin/sulbactam) will provide adequate coverage.
Sproll and colleagues (2019) noted that sialolithiasis is the most common cause of chronic sialadenitis of the submandibular gland (SMG). Symptomatic superficial lobe stones are often treated by submandibulectomy. A gland-preserving operation allows for transoral stone removal through endoscopically assisted sialolithotomy. These investigators provided clinical and sonographical follow-up data in patients who underwent sialolithotomy under general anesthesia. A total of 60 patients treated for superficial lobe sialolithiasis of SMG were included in this study. All received transoral sialolithotomy under general anesthesia. Follow-up was carried out via standardized patient questionnaires, clinical examination, and B-mode and color Doppler sonography. Mean patient age was 48.9 years; 56.6 % of right and 43.4 % of left SMG were affected. Mean follow-up was 45 months; 55 of 59 detected stones could be removed. Mean operation time was 71 mins; 3.3 % of patients reported recurrent episodes of post-operative pain and 10 % felt recurrent episodes of gland swelling. Persistent post-operative lingual nerve hypesthesia was described in 1 patient. No facial nerve damages occurred. Salivary flow rates remained reduced in most of the affected glands upon stone removal. Sonographical follow-up data of the previously affected SMG after intra-oral endoscopy-assisted sialolithotomy showed a regular gland size in 70.8 % of cases, a parenchyma free of inflammation in 93.8 %, and without signs of fibrosis in 72.9 % of cases; 68.7 % of patients showed a regular structure of Wharton's duct at time of follow-up. In total, 89.6 % of patients were diagnosed stone-free within both glands on follow-up. No case needed subsequent submandibulectomy. The authors concluded that sialolithotomy of Wharton's duct for removal of stones from the SMG's superficial lobe is a promising alternative to submandibulectomy.
Stones are rarely found in the sublingual gland. The higher frequency of sialolithiasis in the submandibular gland is associated with several factors: the pH of saliva (alkaline in the submandibular gland, acidic in the parotid gland); the viscosity of saliva (more mucous in the submandibular gland); and the anatomy of the Wharton’s duct (the duct of the submandibular salivary gland opening into the mouth at the side of the frenum linguaean is an “uphill course”).
Sialo-irrigation of the salivary gland is an effective procedure for treating inflammation and providing symptomatic relief. This procedure can be employed for the treatment of sialolithiasis using the back pressure of instilled saline. Sialo-irrigation under ultrasound (US) guidance allows for dynamic studies showing real-time images during diagnostic or surgical procedure and can be used for the removal of sialoliths. Furthermore, it can also be used to remove primitive sialoliths and microliths by washing out the ductal system, which prevents the recurrence of sialoliths. These researchers proposed a minimally invasive technique for sialolithiasis using US-guided sialo-irrigation.
Sialendoscopy combined with pneumatic lithotripsy for the treatment of sialolithiasis
Aetna considers sialendoscopy (diagnostic or therapeutic) medically necessary for the management of chronic sialadenitis and sialolithiasis.
Lele and colleagues (2019) noted that sialendoscopy has emerged as a safe, effective and minimally invasive technique for management of obstructive and inflammatory salivary gland disease. The investigators analyzed outcomes of sialendoscopy and steroid irrigation in patients with sialadenitis without sialoliths. They performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent interventional sialendoscopy with steroid irrigation from 2013 to 2016, for the treatment of sialadenitis without sialolithiasis. A total of 22 patients underwent interventional sialendoscopy with ductal dilation and steroid irrigation for the treatment of sialadenitis without any evidence of sialolithiasis. Conservative measures had failed in all; 11 patients had symptoms arising from the parotid gland, 4 patients had symptoms arising from the submandibular gland, while 6 patients had symptoms in both parotid and submandibular glands; 1 patient complained of only xerostomia without glandular symptoms. The mean age of the study group which included 1 male and 21 females was 44.6 years (range of 3 to 86 years); 4 patients had autoimmune disease, while 7 patients had a history of radioactive iodine therapy. No identifiable cause for sialadenitis was found in the remaining 11 patients. The mean follow-up period was 378.9 days (range of 16 to 1,143 days). All patients underwent sialendoscopy with ductal dilation and steroid irrigation; 12 patients showed a complete response (CR) and 9 patients had a partial response (PR), while 1 patient reported no response. Only 3 patients needed repeat sialendoscopy. The authors concluded that the combination of sialendoscopy with ductal dilation and steroid irrigation was a safe and effective therapeutic option for patients with sialadenitis without sialoliths refractory to conservative measures. These researchers stated that prospective studies with a larger case-series are needed to establish its role as a definitive therapeutic option.

The ‘S’ is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The seventh character ‘S’ identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.”.
Rationale: Scar contractures due to burn injury are reported with code L90.5 that is the first-listed or principal diagnosis and the burn injury is reported as a secondary code to identify the cause of the sequela.
The sequela code may also be expanded at the fourth, fifth, or sixth character levels to include the manifestation

is: The ICD-10 consists of: an alphabetical index to diseases and nature of injury, external causes of injury, table of drugs and chemicals (Volume 3), and. description, guidelines, and coding rules (Volume 2).
The Tenth Revision (ICD-10) differs from the Ninth Revision (ICD-9) in several ways although the overall content is similar: First, ICD-10 is printed in a three-volume set compared with ICD-9’s two-volume set. Second, ICD-10 has alphanumeric categories rather than numeric categories. Third, some chapters have been rearranged, some titles have changed, and conditions have been regrouped. Fourth, ICD-10 has almost twice as many categories as ICD-9. Fifth, some fairly minor changes have been made in the coding rules for mortality.
