ICD-10-PCS 0HP Medical and Surgical: Skin and Breast Removal
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Removal (code 0HP) involves taking out or detaching a device, substance, or tissue from the skin, breast, fingernail, toenail, or hair. This operation is categorized under the Medical and Surgical section and specifically addresses the removal of implants, drainage devices, tissue substitutes, and other foreign materials.
This summary of ICD-10-PCS removal codes highlights various examples showing the body parts involved and the approaches used. For instance, removal of drainage devices or synthetic substitutes from the skin and finger nails commonly uses an External Approach (codes like 0HPPX0Z and 0HPQXJZ). More complex removals in the breast—including removal of tissue expanders or radioactive elements—are performed via open, percutaneous, or natural/artificial opening approaches (e.g., 0HPT00Z, 0HPT31Z, and 0HPT7JZ). The detailed coding structure ensures precise documentation of the type of device or tissue being removed and the surgical approach, critical for accurate procedural reporting and clinical communication.
