Can anyone please help me with a dx code for gastrojejunostomy tube dislodgement?

Thank you for any help.
 
I would use V55.1. Some coders might want to also use 536.42, mechanical complication of gastrostomy, but I'm not sure if a "displacement" is considered a "mechanical complication".
 
Dislodgement of skin graft are coded to mechanical complication, hence I think 536.42 can use for dislodgement of gastrojejunostomy, but not sure about it...
