ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 0Y - Anatomical Regions, Lower Extremities

The ICD-10-PCS Root Operations for the Lower Extremities body region within the Medical and Surgical section refer to a variety of procedural intents, each aimed at specific modifications, repairs, or examinations of anatomical structures in the lower limbs.

These operations include Alteration (0Y0), where the anatomic structure is modified without affecting function, and Detachment (0Y6), which involves cutting off all or part of the upper or lower extremities. Procedures like Insertion (0YH) and Supplement (0YU) describe placing appliances or reinforcing materials that assist or strengthen body parts without replacing them. Other root operations such as Control (0Y3) stop bleeding, while Drainage (0Y9) involves removing fluids or gases. Additionally, Inspection (0YJ) refers to visually or manually exploring a body part, and Repair (0YQ) focuses on restoring normal anatomy and function. These codes allow precise documentation of procedures ranging from device Removal (0YP) to Revision (0YW), which corrects device malfunction or displacement. Collectively, these terms cover comprehensive procedural coding for various surgical and non-surgical interventions on the lower extremities.
