Wiki Evacuation of hematoma post partum

[mllivers]

Hi,

I'm needing some help coding, so doctor did vaginal delivery and evacuation of hematoma with ligation of arterial bleeder and placement of Jackson Pratt drain, I don't know where to start looking for the second surgery, this was on the same day as delivery.

Thanks!

I would need much more information to help with this. How long after delivery did the second surgery take place? I assume it was a return to the OR if she had already been transferred from the delivery room. And how was the evacuation accomplished? A description of the actual procedure would be helpful
