ICD-10-PCS 0CF Medical and Surgical: Mouth and Throat Fragmentation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fragmentation (code 0CF) refers to breaking solid matter within a body part into pieces. This is often used to treat blockages or obstructions without removing the material entirely.

In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation targets the Mouth and Throat area, specifically focusing on the Parotid Duct. The procedure can be performed through various approaches depending on the clinical scenario: an Open Approach (e.g., code 0CFB0ZZ for the right duct or 0CFC0ZZ for the left duct), a Percutaneous Approach (such as 0CFB3ZZ and 0CFC3ZZ), via a Natural or Artificial Opening (like 0CFB7ZZ and 0CFC7ZZ), or an External Approach (0CFBXZZ and 0CFCXZZ). These codes allow precise documentation of the fragmentation procedure aimed at resolving ductal blockages while preserving the surrounding anatomy.
