Final answer:
When a vessel injury and related organ injury occur together, they should be coded separately.
Step-by-step explanation:
True. When a vessel injury and related organ injury occur together, if the descriptor includes the vessel injury in the organ injury descriptor it should still be coded separately. Even though the vessel injury is part of the organ injury, both injuries are distinct and should be coded separately in medical documentation. For example, if a patient has a liver laceration with an associated hepatic artery injury, both the liver laceration and the hepatic artery injury would be coded independently.
