ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 2Y - Anatomical Orifices

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Anatomical Orifices (coded as 2Y) refers to procedures involving placement activities performed through natural body openings. This falls under the Placement section and encompasses various interventions that do not require incisions or punctures.

Within this classification, three main actions are identified: Change, which involves removing an existing device and placing a similar one via a natural orifice; Packing, which entails inserting material into a body orifice or region; and Removal, meaning taking out a device from a body part without cutting. For example, 2Y0 represents changing a device placed through an anatomical orifice, while 2Y4 codes for packing procedures, and 2Y5 denotes device removal performed through such openings. These distinct codes enable precise documentation of procedures involving natural orifices, critical for effective medical record-keeping and procedural clarity.
