ICD-10-PCS 007 Medical and Surgical: Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves Dilation
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Dilation (Code 007) involves enlarging the diameter of a tubular body part or opening. This procedure is used within the Medical and Surgical section, specifically targeting the Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves.
Dilation allows for improved access or function by expanding structures such as the Cerebral Ventricle. The codes show various approaches to achieve this enlargement, from an Open Approach (code 00760ZZ) to less invasive methods like the Percutaneous Approach (code 00763ZZ) and the Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (code 00764ZZ), which utilizes an endoscope through the skin. Using these specific ICD-10-PCS codes ensures precise documentation of the type and method of dilation performed on central nervous system structures, facilitating accurate medical records and billing.
