ICD-10-PCS 0G8 Medical and Surgical: Endocrine System Division

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Division (code 0G8) in the Medical and Surgical section refers to cutting into or separating a body part without removing any portion. This operation is commonly used within the Endocrine System.

Division is performed to create separation or to release a structure, often to relieve pressure or to address functional issues. For example, codes like 0G800ZZ describe the Division of the Pituitary Gland via an Open Approach, while 0G803ZZ and 0G804ZZ represent minimally invasive techniques such as Percutaneous and Percutaneous Endoscopic approaches. Similarly, division procedures can be applied to the Thyroid Gland Isthmus, as shown by codes 0G8J0ZZ, 0G8J3ZZ, and 0G8J4ZZ. Understanding these distinctions among approach types is essential for accurate procedural coding and documentation in endocrine surgeries.
