ICD-10-PCS 10A Obstetrics: Pregnancy Abortion
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Abortion (Character 0, Body System 10A) in the Obstetrics section refers to the deliberate termination of a pregnancy by removing or expelling the products of conception.
This Obstetrics Abortion operation encompasses various approaches to end a pregnancy, tailored to clinical needs. For example, an Open Approach (code 10A00ZZ) involves surgical entry to remove the products of conception, while less invasive methods include the Percutaneous approach (10A03ZZ) and Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (10A04ZZ). Additionally, procedures performed Via Natural or Artificial Opening demonstrate further diversity, such as vacuum aspiration (10A07Z6), use of laminaria for cervical dilation (10A07ZW), or administration of abortifacient agents (10A07ZX). Endoscopic techniques through natural openings also feature in codes like 10A08ZZ. These options highlight the range of techniques captured under the root operation Abortion within the ICD-10-PCS system, essential for precise obstetric coding and documentation.
