Need help with diagnosis...Patient comes in with c/o drainage of surgical incision (no infection) and there is small opening of the incision but doctor states that it isn't dehiscence. He closed the site with skin adhesive.
Thanks,

what kind of injury does he have, I believe you should code that.

There was no injury.

In that case I would surely give an aftercare code of that surgery.
