ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 09 - Ear, Nose, Sinus

The ICD-10-PCS classification for the Ear, Nose, Sinus system includes a wide range of root operations that describe various surgical and procedural interventions. These operations define how the anatomy of these structures is modified, repaired, or examined within the Medical and Surgical section.

For example, the root operation Alteration (Code 090) involves modifying a body part's structure without changing its function, while Bypass (091) means altering the route of a tubular passage. Other operations include Destruction (095), which eradicates part of the body using energy or force, and Dilation (097), which expands an orifice or lumen. Procedures like Excision (09B) remove a portion of a body part without replacement, whereas Replacement (09R) involves inserting biological or synthetic material to take the place of the tissue. Additionally, Inspection (09J) allows visual or manual exploration of structures. These root operations, among others such as Repair (09Q) and Drainage (099), provide precise coding options to capture the complexity of procedures performed on the ear, nose, and sinus systems.
