Y88: Sequelae with surgical and medical care as external cause
Y88.1: Sequelae of misadventures to patients during surgical and medical procedures
Sequelae of misadventures to patients during surgical and medical procedures refers to complications or health effects that result from a medical or surgical procedure. These can occur during or after the procedure and might be related to a variety of issues such as medical equipment, the actions of healthcare personnel, or the body's reaction to the procedure itself. The complications or health effects vary widely and can include infections, reactions to medications used, injury to healthy tissue or organs, or unexpected side effects caused by the procedure. These side effects may have differing levels of severity, from minor complaints to significant health conditions. Furthermore, the timing of these complications can vary, and some may not become apparent until a significant amount of time has passed after the procedure.
