About the 0GN Code Range
These procedures free an endocrine body part from an abnormal physical restraint by cutting or applying force. Some restraining tissue may be removed, but none of the freed body part is removed.
The fourth character identifies the body part, including the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, carotid bodies, thyroid gland and parathyroid glands. It distinguishes left, right and bilateral sites for the adrenal glands and carotid bodies. The fifth character distinguishes an open approach from a puncture or small incision, with or without a scope. The sixth and seventh characters specify No Device and No Qualifier.
