Y83: Surgical operation and other surgical procedures as the cause of abnormal reaction of the patient, or of later complication, without mention of misadventure at the time of the procedure

Y83.0: Surgical operation with transplant of whole organ

The condition denoted by ICD-10 code Y83.0 is ‘Surgical operation with transplant of whole organ.’ This refers to medical procedures where an entire organ, such as a kidney, heart, or liver, is surgically removed from one person (the donor) and implanted into another person (the recipient). Transplants are typically carried out to replace a recipient's diseased or failing organ with a healthy one. Despite being a surgical procedure rather than a disease, an organ transplant brings with it various potential complications, ranging from infection and transplant rejection to side-effects from the immunosuppressant drugs that recipients must usually take to prevent their body from rejecting the new organ. Each patient will likely experience a unique combination of symptoms and potential issues, varying based on factors such as their overall health and the organ received.
