About the 00D Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extraction (Code 00D) refers to the removal, without replacement, of a body part or tissue. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation specifically applies to the Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves.
This root operation encompasses procedures such as the removal of the Brain using various methods like Open Approach (code 00D00ZZ), Percutaneous approach (code 00D03ZZ), or Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (code 00D04ZZ). Other examples include extraction of the Cerebral Meninges and Dura Mater, as well as cranial nerves such as the Olfactory Nerve (code 00DF0ZZ for open), Optic Nerve, Facial Nerve, and Vagus Nerve via different approaches. This variety in approach detail allows precise coding for the extent and method of the removal procedure in neurologic surgeries. Correct use of these codes helps document procedures affecting critical nervous system structures without replacement.
