O82: Single delivery by caesarean section
O82.2: Delivery by caesarean hysterectomy
Delivery by Caesarean Hysterectomy (ICD-10 Code O82.2) signifies a singular medical procedure rather than a disease or medical condition. This procedure is a comprehensive one that involves childbirth via a C-section followed by a hysterectomy. A Caesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the mother's abdomen and uterus. A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and is typically only performed during a C-section in emergency situations or when abnormalities such as unmanageable bleeding or cancer of the uterus are detected. This type of delivery has a significant recovery time as it is a major surgery that affects the mother’s reproductive system. It's important to note that this procedure is rare and generally reserved for critical situations, where both the mother's and baby's lives could be at risk.
