ICD-10-PCS 005 Medical and Surgical: Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves Destruction
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (code series 005) refers to the physical eradication of a body part or tissue. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation targets the Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves, aiming to destroy abnormal or problematic tissues.
This root operation includes various approaches such as Open, Percutaneous, and Percutaneous Endoscopic. For example, destruction of the Brain can be done using Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy via an open approach (00500Z3) or a minimally invasive percutaneous approach (00503Z3). Other body parts documented include the Cerebral Meninges (00510ZZ), Dura Mater (00520ZZ), various cranial nerves like the Optic Nerve (005G0ZZ) and Facial Nerve (005M0ZZ), as well as spinal cord segments such as the Cervical Spinal Cord (005W0ZZ). This detailed classification allows precise coding of procedures that eliminate harmful nervous system tissue, reflecting both the target site and technique used.
