ICD-10-PCS 0VX Medical and Surgical: Male Reproductive System Transfer
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Transfer (code 0VX) involves moving a body part to a different location to take over the function of all or part of an injured or absent body part. This operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section and specifically applies to the Male Reproductive System.
In practical coding terms, transfer procedures documented under these codes include relocating the Prepuce to either the Urethra or the Penis. Approaches for this root operation vary from an Open Approach, as seen in codes like 0VXT0ZD (Transfer Prepuce to Urethra) and 0VXT0ZS (Transfer Prepuce to Penis), to an External Approach, as coded in 0VXTXZD and 0VXTXZS. These precise codes allow for accurate reporting of surgical transfers within the male reproductive system, reflecting the procedure’s intent to restore or replicate function through tissue relocation.
