ICD-10-PCS 08C Medical and Surgical: Eye Extirpation
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code 08C) involves the removal of matter from a body part without removing the body part itself. This procedure is catalogued within the Medical and Surgical section for the Eye body system, focusing on extracting foreign or unwanted material.
Eye extirpation codes specify the precise location of the matter removal, such as from the Right Anterior Chamber (e.g., 08C23ZZ via Percutaneous Approach) or Left Vitreous (e.g., 08C53ZZ via Percutaneous Approach). Multiple approaches are documented, including External, Percutaneous, Open, and Via Natural or Artificial Opening methods. The codes cover various ocular structures such as the Cornea, Retina, Lens, Lacrimal Duct, and Extraocular Muscle. For example, extirpation of matter from the Left Lacrimal Duct via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach is coded as 08CY8ZZ.
This detailed classification enables accurate documentation of procedures aimed specifically at removing unwanted matter from distinct eye parts, supporting precise coding and clinical clarity.
