ICD-10-PCS 08N Medical and Surgical: Eye Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (code 08N) refers to freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or otherwise eliminating the restricting tissue in the Medical and Surgical section for the Eye body system.

This Release operation is applied to the eye and its related structures to relieve restrictions that impair function or cause discomfort. Examples include releasing the Right or Left Eye using an External Approach (codes 08N0XZZ and 08N1XZZ), or employing a Percutaneous Approach to release delicate internal parts like the Anterior Chamber (codes 08N23ZZ and 08N33ZZ), Vitreous (codes 08N43ZZ and 08N53ZZ), or the Retina (08NE3ZZ, 08NF3ZZ). Other structures, such as the Extraocular Muscles, Eyelids, Conjunctiva, and Lacrimal Ducts, can be released through varied approaches, including open, percutaneous, or via natural or artificial openings. Accurate coding of these specific release procedures ensures precise procedural documentation and reflects the targeted anatomical site and approach used during eye surgeries.
