ICD-10-PCS 01N Medical and Surgical: Peripheral Nervous System Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (Code 01N) refers to freeing a body part from abnormal constraint by cutting or otherwise removing tissue, without cutting out or replacing the body part. This root operation is used specifically within the Medical and Surgical section for the Peripheral Nervous System.

The provided ICD-10-PCS release codes describe procedures that involve releasing nerves or nerve plexuses from restrictive tissue to restore function or relieve symptoms. Examples include releasing the Cervical Plexus via an Open Approach (01N00ZZ) or using a minimally invasive Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach for the Median Nerve (01N54ZZ). Other nerves targeted include the Ulnar Nerve, Radial Nerve, Thoracic Nerve, and various sympathetic nerves such as the Thoracic Sympathetic Nerve. Both plexuses and individual nerves can be treated by releasing constrictive tissue, using approaches tailored to the location and clinical situation. Utilizing these codes accurately supports detailed documentation of nerve release procedures in the peripheral nervous system.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 01N - Release (freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force). There are a total of 70 procedure codes in this section.
