ICD-10-PCS 00C Medical and Surgical: Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves Extirpation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code 00C) refers to the removal of solid matter from a body part without removing the part itself. This root operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section and primarily applies to the Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves.

Extirpation is used to extract pathological or obstructive matter such as clots, emboli, or other solid substances. The provided codes demonstrate a range of procedures targeting various intracranial and spinal structures. For example, extirpation may be performed on the Brain using an Open Approach (00C00ZZ), or via minimally invasive techniques such as Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (00C04ZZ). Matter can also be removed from meningeal layers like the Cerebral Meninges (00C10ZZ, open) or from specific nerves such as the Facial Nerve using percutaneous methods (00CM3ZZ). These examples highlight the range of anatomical locations and surgical approaches encompassed by the extirpation codes for central nervous system procedures.
