Thus, a perforated sigmoid colon is a hole that develops in this section of the large intestine. It is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Symptoms of a bowel perforation include severe abdominal pain, chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, according to MedlinePlus.

A perforated viscus, also known as an intestinal or bowel perforation, is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the wall of the gastrointestinal tract ruptures and the enteric contents leak into the peritoneal cavity, thereby causing severe abdominal pain.
Perforated hollow viscus is characterized by loss of gastrointestinal wall integrity with subsequent leakage of enteric contents. Direct trauma or tissue ischemia and necrosis lead to full-thickness disruption of the gastrointestinal wall and perforation.

69: Other intestinal obstruction.
An obstruction in which two points along the course of a bowel are obstructed at a single location thus forming a closed loop. Patients present clinically with signs of obstruction: abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension.
However, closed loop obstructions are characterized by their complete nature and high morbidity and risk of death in case of delayed surgery [2]. In the colon, ischemic complications only occur on volvulus.
The term “postoperative’ can be misleading. A query may be necessary. Take Aways. Coders must be aware of the index entries for intestinal obstruction and follow the index. For conditions in the index, look for “with obstruction” underneath the main entry or subterm entries.
In the past, bowel obstruction was almost always coded as a diagnosis as the physician usually addressed the condition and did work up as to the cause, many times addressing the cause also. However that has changed as the coder will see in this coding tip.
Lastly, if intestinal obstruction is a complication of surgery, code K91.3-, may be warranted. Coders must validate that this is truly intestinal obstruction as a complication of surgery, and not just occurring after surgery due to another cause. The term “postoperative’ can be misleading. A query may be necessary.
A perforation is a hole in the gastrointestinal system. Thus, a perforated sigmoid colon is a hole that develops in this section of the large intestine. It is a life-threatening surgical emergency.
It is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Symptoms of a bowel perforation include severe abdominal pain, chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, according to MedlinePlus. The perforation allows intestinal contents to leak into the abdominal cavity, resulting in peritonitis.
