About the 0LT Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Resection (code 0LT) refers to the surgical removal of all or a portion of a tendon. It is classified under the Medical and Surgical section, specifically targeting tendons throughout various body regions.
This operation involves excising tendon tissue and is performed either through an Open Approach or a minimally invasive Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach. The detailed codes cover resection of tendons at multiple anatomical sites including the Head and Neck, Shoulder, Upper and Lower Arm, Trunk, Hip, Upper Leg, Knee, Ankle, and Foot. For example, 0LT10ZZ indicates resection of the right shoulder tendon via an open approach, while 0LT44ZZ represents resection of the left upper arm tendon performed percutaneously. These tendon resection codes facilitate precise documentation of procedures wherever tendon removal is necessary, supporting accurate clinical coding and appropriate treatment records.
