S38: Crushing injury and traumatic amputation of part of abdomen, lower back and pelvis
S38.3: Traumatic amputation of other and unspecified parts of abdomen, lower back and pelvis
Traumatic amputation of other and unspecified parts of the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis is a severe injury that involves the loss of one or more body parts in these areas due to an accident, violence, or other forms of trauma. The part or parts involved can vary depending on the specifics of the incident, and it may not always be possible to immediately ascertain what's been lost. This type of injury can cause not only immediate physical issues like heavy bleeding and extreme pain, but can also pose serious threats to the individual's overall well-being if not urgently addressed. Long-term effects can include impairment of mobility, disruption to digestive, urinary, reproductive, and other bodily functions, as well as psychological trauma. It is imperative that immediate medical attention is given to manage such injuries and to initiate subsequent recovery procedures.
