N73.6 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of female pelvic peritoneal adhesions (postinfective). A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code N736 is used to code Adhesion (medicine)

Adhesions are fibrous bands that form between tissues and organs, often as a result of injury during surgery. They may be thought of as internal scar tissue that connects tissues not normally connected.
