ICD-10-PCS 09M Medical and Surgical: Ear, Nose, Sinus Reattachment
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Reattachment (Character M) involves putting back together a body part that has been completely detached. It is used in the Medical and Surgical section, focusing on restoring continuity to structures such as parts of the ear, nose, or sinus.
Specifically, the Reattachment operation applies when reattaching body parts like the Right External Ear (code 09M0XZZ) or the Left External Ear (code 09M1XZZ) via an External Approach. It similarly includes reattaching the Nasal Mucosa and Soft Tissue (code 09MKXZZ). These examples highlight how the root operation is used to document procedures aimed at restoring anatomic integrity after traumatic detachment, helping ensure accurate coding for surgical repair in the ear, nose, and sinus regions.
