ICD-10-PCS 10T Obstetrics: Pregnancy Resection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Resection (Character 10T) in the Obstetrics section involves the surgical removal of all or part of a body part. This operation is typically used to remove abnormal or diseased tissue completely.

Within the Obstetrics classification, Resection is often applied to the removal of Products of Conception, Ectopic, which refers to tissue resulting from pregnancy located outside the uterine cavity. The provided examples show the variety of surgical approaches, such as an Open Approach (10T20ZZ), minimally invasive Percutaneous (10T23ZZ) or Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (10T24ZZ), and less invasive methods through a Natural or Artificial Opening (10T27ZZ and 10T28ZZ). These distinctions help coders accurately specify the procedural details when documenting obstetric resections of ectopic pregnancy tissue.
