O75.4: Other complications of obstetric surgery and procedures

O75.4 refers to complications that arise from obstetric surgery and procedures, which are medical interventions performed during pregnancy, childbirth, or shortly after delivery. These complications can vary widely, ranging from infections, hemorrhage (excessive bleeding), injury to organs, or negative reactions to anesthesia. The symptoms depend on the specific complication but can include fever, pain, abnormal bleeding, or other unexpected health changes after surgery or procedures. These complications can directly affect the mother's reproductive system and can potentially impact overall health. Some complications may have immediate impact, while others may develop over time. While complications are not common, they can occur in any pregnancy or childbirth situation, irrespective of the mother's overall health status. Just like all surgeries and procedures, obstetric interventions carry a risk of unexpected results or problems, despite the healthcare team's best precautions and care.
