If the procedure occurred and the patient went to the ward (for example) and then the next day had a complication of the procedure, then certainly code the diagnosis as [[Iatrogenic codes in ICD10 | iatrogenic code]] (related to the procedure) but that patient did not come to the ICU directly due to the procedure (i.e. postop).
