ICD-10-PCS 00F Medical and Surgical: Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves Fragmentation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fragmentation (code 00F) refers to breaking solid matter within a body part into smaller pieces. This operation is commonly applied in the Medical and Surgical section targeting the Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves.

Fragmentation procedures address intracranial and spinal areas to reduce solid abnormalities or obstructions. The provided codes specify variation by precise body parts such as the Intracranial Epidural, Subdural, and Subarachnoid Spaces, as well as Cerebral Ventricles and the Spinal Canal. Different approaches like Open, Percutaneous, Percutaneous Endoscopic, and External are used depending on the clinical context and surgical plan—for example, 00F30ZZ indicates fragmentation in the intracranial epidural space via open surgery, while 00F33ZZ is performed percutaneously in the same location. These distinctions help medical coders accurately document the specific fragmentation procedure performed within these critical nervous system structures.
