ICD-10-PCS 0JC Medical and Surgical: Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia Extirpation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (Code 0JC) refers to the removal or extraction of solid matter from a body part. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation specifically targets Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia in various anatomical locations.

This extirpation operation is used to clear abnormal matter such as foreign bodies, clots, or other solid obstructions from subcutaneous tissue and fascia. The provided codes demonstrate how extirpation can be performed using different approaches, including the Open Approach or less invasive Percutaneous Approach. For example, codes like 0JC00ZZ and 0JC03ZZ describe extirpation of matter from the Scalp Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, while similar pairs like 0JC10ZZ and 0JC13ZZ apply to the Face Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia. Other body parts covered include the Neck, Chest, Back, and various limbs, reflecting the comprehensive use of this root operation in managing subcutaneous conditions. Correctly using these codes ensures precise documentation of the removal procedure and its anatomical site.
