ICD-10-PCS 091 Medical and Surgical: Ear, Nose, Sinus Bypass
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Bypass refers to the procedure of creating an alternate pathway to route the flow of body fluids or other substances from one site to another. Within the Medical and Surgical section focusing on the Ear, Nose, and Sinus body system, this operation involves bypassing anatomical structures in the inner ear.
Examples of this operation include codes for bypassing the Right or Left Inner Ear to the Endolymphatic pathway, typically performed by an Open Approach. The procedure can involve using various substitutes, such as Autologous Tissue, Synthetic Substitute, or Nonautologous Tissue, or it may be done without any substitute. For instance, code 091D070 describes bypass of the right inner ear to endolymphatic with an autologous tissue substitute, while 091E0Z0 indicates bypass of the left inner ear to endolymphatic without a tissue substitute. These specific ICD-10-PCS bypass codes allow precise documentation of procedures that reroute inner ear pathways to restore or improve physiological flow.
