ICD-10-PCS D82 Radiation Therapy: Eye Stereotactic Radiosurgery
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Stereotactic Radiosurgery (D82) refers to a precise form of radiation therapy used to treat diseases in the Eye. It involves delivering focused radiation beams to a specific target within the eye using advanced stereotactic techniques.
This specialized radiation therapy approach allows for targeted treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The included codes highlight different types of stereotactic radiosurgery, such as Other Photon Radiosurgery (D820DZZ), Particulate Radiosurgery (D820HZZ), and Gamma Beam Radiosurgery (D820JZZ). Each code specifies the radiation modality applied during the procedure. This root operation is classified under the Radiation Therapy section, reflecting its role as a noninvasive yet highly precise treatment option for ocular conditions. Proper coding with these stereotactic radiosurgery codes ensures accurate documentation and facilitates effective communication of the therapeutic method used in eye treatments.
