Here is a summary of what happened with this patient. She had a TVH and on post op day 10 she was admitted as inpatient for post op fever, nausea vomiting, lack of appetite. She was diagnosed with vaginal cuff cellulitis and my MD did a fine needle aspiration of a vaginal cuff seroma. The culture came back as Escherichia coli. I am having problems deciding which IC10 codes to use.
I was looking at N99.89, R50.82, R11.0, N76.89, B96.20 and Z90.710 but then I am also looking at using T81.4XXA.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!
