ICD-10-PCS 0WC Medical and Surgical: Anatomical Regions, General Extirpation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code 0WC) refers to the removal of solid matter from a body part. It is commonly used in the Medical and Surgical section to specify the extraction of unwanted or obstructive material without removing the body part itself.

This operation targets a wide range of anatomical areas, such as the cranial cavity, oral cavity and throat, pleural cavity, mediastinum, pericardial cavity, and various body cavities like the peritoneal and pelvic cavities. The procedure can be performed using different approaches, including Open, Percutaneous, Percutaneous Endoscopic, External, and approaches via natural or artificial openings, depending on the site and clinical context. For example, codes like 0WC10ZZ and 0WC30ZZ denote extirpation of matter from the cranial and oral cavities via an open approach, respectively, while 0WC13ZZ and 0WC33ZZ represent percutaneous methods. Understanding these distinctions is essential for accurate procedural coding and documentation.
