Wiki surgical burn noted post surgery

[Girlzsmom66]

A patient came in for day one post op visit for incision check and was noted to have a laser burn on her hip acquired during surgery. The burn was cleansed and medicated. Would this, in fact, be part of the post operative care, or would others bill this care as a complication? Thank you!
