ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 10 - Pregnancy

The ICD-10-PCS root operations within the Pregnancy section of Obstetrics cover a range of procedures related to the management of pregnancy and its outcomes. These operations describe specific actions performed on parts involved in pregnancy.

For example, the Abortion operation (10A) refers to the artificial termination of pregnancy, while Delivery (10E) assists in the passage of the products of conception through the genital canal. Extraction (10D) involves pulling or stripping out all or part of a body part by force. Procedures like Insertion (10H) involve placing non-biological appliances to assist or monitor physiological functions during pregnancy. Other operations include Drainage (109) to remove fluids, Repair (10Q) to restore normal anatomy, and Transplantation (10Y) to replace tissue from another individual. Understanding these root operations and their specific purposes is essential for accurate obstetric coding and documentation.
