ICD-10 Code H59.34 – Postprocedural hematoma of eye and adnexa following other procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H59.34 – Postprocedural hematoma of eye and adnexa following other procedure
What it is
This code identifies a hematoma, or localized collection of blood, that develops in the eye or surrounding adnexal tissues after a procedure. Use it when the documentation clearly links the bleeding complication to a prior eye-related intervention.
Clinical signs
Findings may include swelling, bruising, pain, or visible blood collection in the operative area. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact postoperative complication described.
When to use this code
Use H59.34 when the provider documents a postprocedural hematoma involving the eye or adnexa after another procedure. It fits postoperative complications recorded as hematoma, hemorrhagic collection, or similar wording. Confirm that the condition is a complication, not an expected postoperative finding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated postoperative bruising or swelling without a documented hematoma. Check documentation if the bleeding is unrelated to a procedure or if another more specific complication code applies.
Coding tip
Code the complication only when the record clearly connects the hematoma to the procedure and specifies the eye or adnexa site.
