ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 0H - Skin and Breast

The ICD-10-PCS root operations for the Skin and Breast within the Medical and Surgical section cover a wide range of procedural actions aimed at modifying, examining, or managing these body parts. Each root operation represents a specific type of procedure performed on the skin or breast tissue.

For example, Alteration (0H0) involves modifying the anatomical structure without affecting its function, while Destruction (0H5) refers to physically eradicating all or part of the body part using energy or force. Procedures such as Excision (0HB) cut out a portion of the skin or breast without replacement, whereas Resection (0HT) involves cutting out an entire body part. The root operation Inspection (0HJ) allows for visual or manual exploration, supporting diagnostic assessment. Device-related actions include Insertion (0HH) of non-biological appliances that assist physiological functions and Removal (0HP) of devices from the body part. Additionally, Repair (0HQ) aims to restore normal structure and function, and Replacement (0HR) involves putting in materials that physically take the place of tissue. These codes facilitate precise documentation of diverse clinical interventions on skin and breast, ensuring accurate representation of treatment intent and method.
