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

Y83.1: Surgical operation with implant of artificial internal device

The ICD-10 code Y83.1 is associated with a surgical operation where an artificial internal device is implanted into the body. This surgical procedure forms an integral part of the treatment plan for a variety of health conditions and bridges the gap when natural body functions deteriorate due to illness or injury. Examples of these artificial devices include heart pacemakers, joint prostheses, or cochlear implants. The procedure involves introducing the device into the body through a surgical incision by strategically positioning it to substitute for or aid the natural biological system. Occurrences during or after the surgery might lead to complications, including infection, rejection of the device by the body, or mechanical malfunction. These complications may present symptoms such as pain, fever, or dysfunction related to the device.
