When to Use

Use a code from this group when anorectal packing is removed and replaced with the same or a similar type of packing during an inpatient stay. Do not use these codes for initial placement of packing if no prior packing was removed or for procedures that require incision or puncture of the anorectal tissue.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
2Y03X5Z	Change Anorectal Packing Material

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A patient admitted after a hemorrhoidectomy develops persistent postoperative bleeding and requires close inpatient monitoring; the surgical team removes the existing anorectal packing to inspect the site and replaces it with identical packing material at the bedside to maintain hemostasis without new incisions. Typical codes: 2Y03X5Z
An elderly patient with chronic fecal incontinence and recurrent rectal prolapse is hospitalized electively for conservative management following a recent reduction; during the inpatient stay the anorectal packing placed earlier for mucosal support is periodically removed and replaced with similar packing to control edema and provide temporary support without further surgical intervention. Typical codes: 2Y03X5Z
A patient presents to the inpatient unit with an infected anorectal wound after perianal abscess drainage; after initial source control, clinicians remove contaminated packing and insert fresh, like-for-like anorectal packing through the anal orifice to promote drainage and wound care without additional cutting. Typical codes: 2Y03X5Z
