ICD-10-PCS 0C7 Medical and Surgical: Mouth and Throat Dilation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Dilation (0C7) involves expanding an orifice or lumen of the Mouth and Throat body system to improve passage. This procedure increases the diameter or patency of a passage without removing tissue.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, dilation can target specific body parts such as the Right and Left Parotid Ducts, Pharynx, and Larynx. The codes show a range of approaches, including Open, Percutaneous, and Via Natural or Artificial Opening, with or without the use of an Intraluminal Device. For example, code 0C7B0DZ describes dilation of the right parotid duct using an intraluminal device by an open approach, whereas 0C7M8ZZ refers to dilation of the pharynx via natural or artificial opening endoscopically. These detailed codes enable precise documentation of the dilation procedure tailored to the site, method, and tools used, essential for accurate procedural coding and clinical communication.
