What is definition of "Without Mention"?

I'm still new here, so i'm sorry if this is a double post. I'm just really confused with this problem.

I've noticed that in transcribing procedures and using ICD9 codes, there are some codes that use the term "without mention". For example, on a gallbladder procedure, the code 574.10 means that "Calculus of gallbladder with other cholecystitis, without mention of obstruction."

Does "without mention" mean:
1) The doctor literally didn't mention anything pertaining to obstructions
2) The doctor did mention obstructions - but to say that there weren't any
3) Either 1 or 2 is correct - the doctor literally didn't mention anything about obstructions, but if s/he did, it was only to say that there weren't any.

Please help! I'm so confused by all this!
