ICD-10-PCS 09N Medical and Surgical: Ear, Nose, Sinus Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (code 09N) involves freeing a body part from an abnormal constraint by cutting or otherwise removing the cause of the restriction. This procedure is part of the Medical and Surgical section and targets structures within the Ear, Nose, and Sinus body system.

Release procedures are intended to restore mobility or function by alleviating adhesions or strictures. The provided codes demonstrate its application to various body parts such as the External Ear, External Auditory Canal, Middle Ear, Tympanic Membrane, and Mastoid Sinus. Approaches range from Open and Percutaneous to Endoscopic and External. For example, 09N00ZZ describes release of the right external ear via an open approach, while 09N34ZZ codes release of the right external auditory canal using a percutaneous endoscopic method. Understanding these ICD-10-PCS Release codes for Ear, Nose, and Sinus ensures precise procedural documentation reflecting the specific site and approach of the release intervention.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 09N - Release (freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force). There are a total of 116 procedure codes in this section.
