Aftercare Following Post-Op Hematoma Extirpation

in Home Care Coding General

Hi!
This patient developed a postoperative hematoma to the right groin (L76.32). & underwent extirpation of said hematoma. Do you apply an aftercare code for surgery of the skin and subcutaneous tissue?? Or leave it as L76.32, since it's a "complication" code?? I don't know how to capture that it's a resolving complication when there's no 7th character "D".

Thanks in advance for the help!
