ICD-10 Code H59.112 – Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of left eye and adnexa complicating an ophthalmic procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H59.112 – Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of left eye and adnexa complicating an ophthalmic procedure
What it is
This code identifies bleeding or hematoma in the left eye or nearby adnexa that occurs during an ophthalmic procedure. It is a complication code, so it applies when the event happens intraoperatively.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible bleeding, tissue swelling, or a documented hematoma affecting the left eye or adnexal structures during surgery. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H59.112 when the operative note clearly states intraoperative hemorrhage or hematoma involving the left eye or adnexa during an eye procedure. You should code it only when the complication is documented as occurring during surgery, not for routine postoperative bruising. If laterality is not stated, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hemorrhage unrelated to an ophthalmic procedure or for complications in the right eye or unspecified side. Do not assign it if the record does not confirm an intraoperative event.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and timing in the operative report before assigning H59.112.
