About the 0QT Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Resection (code 0QT) involves the surgical removal, in one piece, of a body part or organ. This operation specifically applies to the Medical and Surgical section focusing on the removal of Lower Bones and their segments.
This classification covers resections of various bones in the lower extremities through an Open Approach. Examples include the removal of the Right Pelvic Bone (code 0QT20ZZ), the Left Acetabulum (0QT50ZZ), and sections of the Femur such as the Right Upper Femur (0QT60ZZ) or Left Femoral Shaft (0QT90ZZ). Also included are resections of smaller bones like the Right Patella (0QTD0ZZ) and Left Fibula (0QTK0ZZ). The codes demonstrate a comprehensive system to document precise removal of targeted lower bones, essential for accurate procedural recording and treatment planning.
