This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S36.116 - other international versions of ICD-10 S36.116 may differ. Laceration with significant disruption of hepatic parenchyma [i.e., greater than 10 cm long and 3 cm deep] Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S36.116 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S36.116 - other international versions of ICD-10 S36.116 may differ. Laceration with significant disruption of hepatic parenchyma [i.e., greater than 10 cm long and 3 cm deep]
Major - Laceration with significant disruption of hepatic parenchyma (ie: greater than 10cm long and 3m deep) or moderate multiple lacerations with or without hematoma Thank you [email protected], thank you for your response.
A grade III laceration is characterized by a laceration that is > 3 cm of parenchymal depth, a subcapsular hematoma that is > 50% surface area of ruptured subcapsular or parenchymal hematoma, and an intraparenchymal hematoma that is > 10 cm or expanding. 13.
The WSES Classification divides Hepatic Injuries into three classes: Minor (WSES grade I). Moderate (WSES grade II). Severe (WSES grade III and IV).

grade IV. laceration: parenchymal disruption involving 25-75% hepatic lobe or involves 1-3 Couinaud segments. vascular injury with active bleeding breaching the liver parenchyma into the peritoneum.
Grade I: hematoma: subcapsular <10% surface area; laceration: capsular tear <1 cm parenchymal depth. Grade II: hematoma: subcapsular 10-50% surface area; intraparenchymal <10 cm diameter; laceration: capsular tear 1-3 cm parenchymal depth, <10 cm in length.
Liver laceration is a physical injury to the liver, the organ located below the right ribs. It is the most commonly injured organ in abdominal trauma from both blunt and penetrating sources. A liver laceration is a tear in the liver tissue.
Moderate: Laceration involving parenchyma but without major disruption of parenchyma (less than 10 centimeters long and less than three centimeters deep)
Grade 4 injuries are complete tears to either the muscle (grade 4) or tendon (grade 4c). The athlete will experience sudden onset pain and significant and immediate limitation to activity. A palpable gap will often be felt.
The signs and symptoms of an injured liver include abdominal pain, guarding (holding hand over the area), tenderness in the upper right part of the abdomen, right shoulder pain and signs of shock and blood loss. This can be a major life-threatening event.
Moderate: Laceration involving parenchyma but without major disruption of parenchyma (less than 10 centimeters long and less than three centimeters deep)
A liver laceration is a tear in the liver tissue. Liver lacerations range in severity from mild to very severe or fatal. Uncontrolled bleeding is the most common problem resulting from liver wounds.
grade IV. laceration: parenchymal disruption involving 25-75% hepatic lobe or involves 1-3 Couinaud segments. vascular injury with active bleeding breaching the liver parenchyma into the peritoneum.
The signs and symptoms of an injured liver include abdominal pain, guarding (holding hand over the area), tenderness in the upper right part of the abdomen, right shoulder pain and signs of shock and blood loss. This can be a major life-threatening event.
Minor: Laceration involving capsule only or without significant involvement of hepatic parenchyma (less than one centimeter deep)
If you are in a situation where the laceration is less than 10 centimeters long but more than 3 centimeters deep, you should query the provider on internal organ injuries if they were documented using the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading scale.
Q: According to our software vendor, you can only code liver lacerations as minor, moderate, or major. According to all the educational materials I can find, however, liver lacerations are on a grading scale (grades 1-5). How does your institution code the liver laceration if they only give measurements of the lacerations?
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S36.116 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S36.115 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable ( Z18.-)
According to 3M you can only code as minor, moderate, or major. However, according to all educational materials, liver lacerations are on a grading scale (grades 1-5) .
Minor - Laceration involving capsule only or without significant involvement of hepatic parenchyma (ie: less than 1cm deep)
The ICD-10-CM Tabular lists measurements for each of the three definitions. There is also a 3M Nosology note in the encoder. Coders are instructed to follow these guides and should query if the documentation doesn't provide a laceration depth/length.
