ICD-10-PCS 08F Medical and Surgical: Eye Fragmentation
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fragmentation (code 08F) refers to breaking solid material in a body part into pieces. In the Medical and Surgical section specific to the Eye, this procedure targets disrupting abnormal solid material without removing it.
Within eye care, Fragmentation often involves the Vitreous body, which is the gel-like substance filling the eye. Examples include fragmenting material in the Right Vitreous via a minimally invasive Percutaneous Approach (code 08F43ZZ) or using an External Approach (code 08F4XZZ). Similar procedures apply to the Left Vitreous using corresponding percutaneous and external methods (codes 08F53ZZ and 08F5XZZ). These specific eye fragmentation codes enable detailed documentation of the procedure used to break up vitreous opacities or other pathological substances without extraction, important for treatment planning and coding accuracy.
