A patient presented to the ED s/p a paracentesis and at the paracentesis site the wound had some drainage. They placed a stitch to close the site.

Hi,
Can we try K68 series of codes for the same. If not then,
I would code, T81.89XA & K66.8 or T81.89XA & K67.
Please review.

Sorry I miss read your question, you need an ICD10 code only. I would go to Complications, Postprocedural, specified NEC, skin and subcutaneous tissue L76.82. You need a diagnosis code to link to the repair code correct.
