Study Notes
Root Operations
- Resection involves cutting out a body part without replacement.
- The primary objective of Detachment is to separate a body part from another body part.
- Obliteration is a term used to describe the procedure of making a body part unusable or non-functional without physically removing it.
Removal of Body Parts
- Resection involves completely removing a body part or any anatomical subdivision specified in the ICD-10-PCS table.
- Drainage involves taking or releasing fluids and/or gases from a body part.
Cutting and Releasing
- Incision involves cutting into a body part without draining fluids/gases to separate/transect a body part.
- Release involves freeing a body part from an abnormal anatomic connection.
Reconstruction and Manipulation
- Reattachment involves putting back in/on all/a portion of a separated body part to its normal/suitable location.
- Replacement involves putting in a device that takes the place of a body part.
Procedure Defaults and Qualifiers
- Z is the character value used as the default qualifier for procedures that do not require one.
- The purpose of a Qualifier is to further define the procedure.
Procedures on Skin and Mucous Membrane
- Alteration involves modifying the natural anatomic structure of a body part without affecting its function.
- Insertion involves making a new structure without replacing a body part.
Fusion and Occlusion
- Fusion involves joining parts of a joint to immobilize it.
- Occlusion is assigned when the objective is to completely close off a tubular body part or orifice.
Dilation, Restriction, and Stenting
- Dilation is assigned when the objective is to widen or enlarge the diameter of a tubular body part or orifice.
- If a device is placed to maintain the new diameter, it is considered part of the procedure.
- Restriction is assigned when the objective is to narrow the diameter of a tubular body part or orifice.
- Stenting involves placing a device to maintain the new diameter.
