Root Ops; Med & Surg
ICD-10-PCS; Medical & Surgical Root Operations; Values
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Alteration (Medical and Surgical) | Modifying the natural anatomical structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part (value 0); (e.g. Face-lift, breast augmentation) |
| Bypass (Medical and Surgical) | Altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part (value of 1); (e.g Coronary artery bypass, colostomy formation) |
| Change (Medical and Surgical) | Taking out or taking off a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same body part without cutting or puncturing the skin or mucus membrane (value of 2); (e.g. Urninary catheter change, gastrostomy tube change) |
| Control (Medical and Surgical) | Stopping or attempting to stop postprocedural or other acute bleeding (value of 3); (e.g. Control of post-prostatectomy hemorrhage, control of intracranial subdural hemorrhage) |
| Creation (Medical and Surgical) | Putting in or on biological / synthetic material to form a new body part that to the extent possible replicates the anatomic structure or function of an absent body part (value of 4) (e.g. Corrective procedures in individual w/ congenital anomalies) |
| Destruction (Medical and Surgical) | Physical eradication of all or part of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent (value of 5);(e.g. Fulguration of rectal polyp, cautery of skin lesion) |
| Dilation (Medical and Surgical) | Expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part(value of 7); (e.g. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, phyloromyotomy) |
| Division (Medical and Surgical) | Cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part( value of 8); e.g. Spinal cordotomy, osteotomy) |
| Drainage (Medical and Surgical) | Taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part (value of 9); (e.g. Thoracentesis, incision and drainage) |
| Excision (Medical and Surgical) | Cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part (value of B); (e.g. Partial nephrectomy, liver biopsy) |
| Extirpation (Medical and Surgical) | Taking or cutting out solid matter from the body (value of C); (e.g. Thrombectomy, choledocholithotomy) |
| Extraction (Medical and Surgical) | Pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force (value of D); (e.g. Dilation and curettage, vein stripping) |
| Fragmentation (Medical and Surgical) | Breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces (value of F); (e.g. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, transurethral lithotripsy) |
| Fusion (Medical and Surgical) | Joining together portions of an articular body part, rendering the articular body part immoblie (value of G) ; (e.g. Spinal fusion, ankle arthrodesis) |
| Insertion (Medical and Surgical) | Putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part (value of H); (e.g. Insertion of radioactive implant, insertion of central venous catheter) |
| Inspection (Medical and Surgical) | Visually and/or manually exploring a body part (value of J) ; (e.g. Diagnostic arthroscopy, exploratory laparotomy) |
| Map (Medical and Surgical) | Locating the route of passage of electrical impulses and/or locating functional areas in a body part (value of K); (e.g. Cardiac mapping, cortical mapping) |
| Occlusion (Medical and Surgical) | Completely closing an orifice or lumen of a tubular body part (value of L) ; (e.g. Fallopian tube ligation, ligation of inferior vena cava) |
| Reattachment (Medical and Surgical) | Putting back in or on all or a portion of a separated body part to its normal location or other suitable location (value of M) ; (e.g. Reattachment of hand, reattachment of avulsed kidney) |
| Release (Medical and Surgical) | Freeing a body part from a abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force (value of N) ; (e.g. Adhesiolysis, carpal tunnel release) |
| Removal (Medical and Surgical) | Taking out or off a device from a body part (value of P) ; (e.g. Drainage tube removal, cardiac pacemaker removal) |
| Repair (Medical and Surgical) | Restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function (value of Q) ; (e.g. Colostomy takedown, herniorrhaphy, suture of laceration) |
| Replacement (Medical and Surgical) | Putting in or on a biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part (value of R); (e.g. Total hip replacement, bone graft, free skin graft) |
| Reposition (Medical and Surgical) | Moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part (value of S) ; (e.g. Reposition of undescended testicle fracture reduction) |
| Resection (Medical and Surgical) | Cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part (value of T); (e.g. Total nephrectomy, total lobectomy of lung) |
| Restriction (Medical and Surgical) | Partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part (value of V) ; (e.g. Esophaogogastric fundoplication, cervical cerclage) |
| Revision (Medical and Surgical) | Correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device (value of W) ; (e.g. Adjustment of position of pacemaker lead, recementing of hip prosthesis) |
| Supplement (Medical and Surgical) | Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part (value of U) ; (e.g. Herniorrhaphy using mesh, free nerve graft, mitral valve ring annuloplasty) |
| Transfer (Medical and Surgical) | Moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part (value of X) ; (e.g. Tendon transfer, skin pedicle flap transfer) |
| Transplantation (Medical and Surgical) | Putting in or on all of a portion of a living body part taken from another individual or animal to physically take the place and/or function of all or a portion of a similar body part (value of Y); (e.g. Kidney transplant, heart transplant) |
| Detachment (Medical and Surgical) | Cutting off all or a portion of the upper of lower extremities. |
