Category:Intra-abdominal infection: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:21, 6 August 2019

	* This category does not include a code for a intra-abdominal abscess NOS which we need in my opinion. The other codes do not adequately represent this issue. I have been using the iatrogenic infection following a procedure or surgery but it does not say where the infection is. And if it does not happen related to a surgery, then what do we use for this? Please advise. Also, this category includes female reproductive organs which are not anatomically in the abdomen and should be in the pelvis. I think Peritonitis, infectious is the one to use for intra-abdominal abscess.

The following 8 pages are in this category, out of 8 total.
