ICD-10-PCS 0HN Medical and Surgical: Skin and Breast Release
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (0HN) involves freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by using force. This procedure is applied to restore mobility or normal function in the Skin and Breast body system within the Medical and Surgical section.
Examples of the Release operation in this context include codes for various anatomical locations such as the Scalp Skin (0HN0XZZ), Face Skin (0HN1XZZ), and other external skin sites like the Neck, Chest, and Back. The approach is predominantly External. For the Breast and Nipple, release can be performed by Open (e.g., 0HNT0ZZ for right breast), Percutaneous, or via Natural or Artificial Openings (including endoscopic methods). Additionally, smaller body parts such as Finger Nail and Toe Nail also have release codes. These codes enable precise documentation of skin and breast release procedures tailored to location and approach, supporting accurate medical coding and reporting.
