ICD-10-PCS 0HT Medical and Surgical: Skin and Breast Resection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Resection (code 0HT) refers to the surgical removal, in part or whole, of a body part. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation specifically applies to the Skin and Breast body system.

This root operation encompasses procedures performed to excise various skin and breast tissues using different approaches. Examples include the open approach resections of the Right Breast (code 0HTT0ZZ), the Left Breast (code 0HTU0ZZ), and Bilaterally (code 0HTV0ZZ). It also covers less invasive removals, such as the external approach resection of the Finger Nail (0HTQXZZ) and Toe Nail (0HTRXZZ), along with resections of the Right and Left Nipples (0HTWXZZ and 0HTXXZZ). The procedure may even include removal of a Supernumerary Breast (code 0HTY0ZZ). Collectively, these codes illustrate how the Resection operation is applied to remove skin and breast parts for therapeutic or diagnostic reasons.
