ICD-10-PCS 0W8 Medical and Surgical: Anatomical Regions, General Division
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Division (Character W8) refers to cutting into a body part to separate or divide it without removing any portion. This procedure is used to alter or release structures without excision.
Within the Medical and Surgical section, Division is applied to various anatomical regions, such as the Female Perineum. For example, the code 0W8NXZZ specifies the division of the female perineum via an External Approach. This highlights how division procedures can be employed to separate tissues or structures, facilitating treatment or improving function without tissue removal. Properly assigning these ICD-10-PCS division codes ensures precise documentation of procedures aimed at dividing anatomical parts rather than excising or altering them.
