ICD-10-PCS 0CB Medical and Surgical: Mouth and Throat Excision

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Excision (code range 0CB) refers to the cutting out or off of a portion of a body part. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation applies to the Mouth and Throat body system, targeting various structures related to speech, chewing, and respiration.

This excision operation involves partial removal of anatomical parts such as the Upper and Lower Lips, Hard and Soft Palate, Tongue, Tonsils, and multiple salivary glands including the Parotid, Sublingual, and Submaxillary Glands. Procedures may be performed through approaches like Open, Percutaneous, External, or endoscopic methods via natural openings. For example, code 0CB00ZZ identifies an open excision of the upper lip, while 0CBM7ZX involves excision of the pharynx through a natural or artificial opening for diagnostic purposes. Additionally, the operation encompasses excision of teeth (e.g., 0CBW0Z0 for single upper tooth, open approach). This level of detail supports precise medical documentation and aids coder accuracy in representing specific surgical excisions within the mouth and throat region.
