You will not code the condition that required the surgery after the surgery is complete. It is aftercare or followup.

I'd say the aftercare would apply. It's not necessarily for discharged patients, like the previous condition codes - it's for ongoing treatment during the healing period after initial treatment of a disease/injury, to manage the recovery and treat aany side effects that patinet may suffer from - it would be the post-surgical period care. It specifically says that if the initial problem is still being treated after surgery/treatment, the code for the disease/injury would be used instead. It also says that some aftercare V-codes require a secondary diagnosis to describe the resolviing or healing condition, and I'm sure that those have instructions in the tabular section.
