Y72.2: Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents : prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory devices

The Y72.2 code in the ICD-10 refers to an adverse incident related to otorhinolaryngological devices, including prosthetics, other implants, materials, and accessory devices. Otorhinolaryngology is the branch of medicine that specializes in ear, nose, and throat conditions (ENT). These adverse incidents can include any complications, malfunctions, or unintended outcomes related to the use of these specific medical devices within the ENT specialty. They might include infection, device failure, or incorrect device placement. It's key to mention that these incidents typically aren't the result of the underlying ENT condition itself, but related to the use of the devices in managing or treating the condition. Symptoms can vary greatly depending on the specific incident and may be similar to or exacerbate the symptoms of the original ENT condition.
