ICD-10-PCS X05 New Technology: Nervous System Destruction

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (code X05) under the New Technology section involves the deliberate eradication of targeted tissue or nerves, typically to treat or manage a condition. This operation focuses on removing tissue functionality without removing the tissue itself.

Specifically, for the Nervous System, destruction techniques employ advanced methods such as ultrasound ablation and radiofrequency ablation to target and disable nerves. For example, the code X051329 represents the Destruction of Renal Sympathetic Nerve(s) via ultrasound ablation using a percutaneous approach. Similarly, X05133A indicates the same nerve destruction but using radiofrequency ablation. These ICD-10-PCS destruction codes within the New Technology classification document the specialized methods used to interrupt nerve function as a therapeutic approach.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify X05 - Destruction (physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy,force, or a destructive agent). There are a total of 3 procedure codes in this section.
