ICD-10-PCS 08L Medical and Surgical: Eye Occlusion
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Occlusion (Character 8L) involves the complete closure of a body part to prevent the passage of fluids or gases. In the Medical and Surgical section for the Eye body system, this operation is used to block structures such as the lacrimal ducts.
Specifically, eye occlusion procedures focus on closing the right or left lacrimal duct using different methods. Closure can be achieved without a device or with devices placed either intraluminally (inside the duct) or extraluminally (outside the duct). The approach to occlusion varies from Open and Percutaneous to Natural or Artificial Opening techniques, including Endoscopic methods. For example, code 08LX0CZ represents occlusion of the right lacrimal duct using an extraluminal device through an open approach, while 08LY8ZZ indicates endoscopic occlusion of the left lacrimal duct via a natural opening without a device. These detailed codes ensure precise documentation of the surgical technique and affected eye structures during occlusion procedures.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 08L - Occlusion (completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part). There are a total of 21 procedure codes in this section.
