T80-T88: Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified
T83: Complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
Complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts refer to a group of conditions arising due to problems with artificial devices placed within the urinary and reproductive system. These complications, which can occur during surgery or at any point after, can stem from multiple factors. Some common causes include surgical errors, body’s reaction to the foreign object, infections, or the device wearing out over time. Symptoms widely vary based on what specific complication arises. It might include discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen, urinary issues like frequent urination or blood in the urine, sexual dysfunction, or systemic symptoms such as fever in case of infection. Over time, untreated complications could lead to damage to the urinary tract or reproductive organ system, further leading to serious health issues. These conditions primarily affect the urinary system or the reproductive system, depending on where the device is placed.
