Chapter 16
2013 Updates
Update the B3.1b guideline box to read “Components of a procedure specified in the root operation definition and explanation are not coded separately. Procedural steps necessary to reach the operative site and close the operative site, including anastomosis of a tubular body part, are also not coded separately. Example: Resection of a joint as part of a joint replacement procedure is included in the root operation definition of Replacement and is not coded separately. Laparotomy performed to reach the site of an open liver biopsy is not coded separately. In a resection of sigmoid colon with anastomosis of descending colon to rectum, the anastomosis is not coded separately.”
Update the 2nd paragraph following the B3.15 Guideline box to read “Vertebroplasty is performed when the vertebral body is fractured with the bone fragments that have not migrated and there is not significant loss of height in the vertebral body. The fractured vertebral body is stabilized with the introduction of acrylic bone cement to maintain vertebral height, prevent further injury, and to relieve pain. This is coded with the root operation Repair because the bone cement was used to restore the vertebral body and not a device. When Kyphoplasty is performed, the vertebral body has loss of height and needs to be repositioned. Additional acrylic bone cement is placed with the body to reposition the fracture. This is coded to the root operation Reposition because the vertebral body has suffered a displaced fracture.”
Update Procedure Statement Coding #2 to read “Posterior lumbar Interbody fusion (L4-L5), posterolateral fusion of the posterior spine with an allograft (L4-L5) and posterior lumbar nonsegmental instrumentation (L4-L5)”.

3.

Code: 0PPF04Z

Rationale: Removal of device from humerus, right is the root operation of Removal using an open approach. The lower humerus is the humeral shaft body part value. The device is an internal fixation device, coded with the device value of 4.
5.

Code: 01N10ZZ

Code: 0RG10A0

Code: 0RH104Z

Rationale: The nerve root at C5-C6 is released by the removal of some of the intervertebral disc. This is a cervical nerve, and the release is performed through an open approach. No device or qualifier is appropriate for this code. Fusion of a vertebral joint using a bone dowel interbody fusion device made of cadaver bone and packed with a mixture of local morselized bone and demineralized bone matrix is coded to the device Interbody Fusion Device. The spinal approach used is qualifier value 0 for anterior approach of the body and anterior approach to the spinal column. The use of plates and screws is an internal fixation device, coded with the root operation Insertion as device value 4, Internal Fixation Device.

1. a

Rationale: Ablation destroys the tissue and, therefore, Destruction is the appropriate root operation.


3. c

Rationale: Both the ileal conduit bypass and the laser destruction are coded.


5. 3, Percutaneous

Rationale: The needle is placed into the bladder through the skin above the pubic bone.


Procedure statement coding
1. Root operation: Occlusion; Code: 0TL70ZZ

Rationale: The only root operation performed is Occlusion, the surgical ligation of the ureter to prevent further hemorrhage. The approach is 0, Open.


3. Root operation: Change; Code: 0T29X0Z

Rationale: The root operation Change is used to replace a ureterostomy tube because a device is removed and an identical device is placed in the body part without cutting or puncturing the skin. The approach is X, External because the skin is not opened.


5. Root operation: Insertion; Code: 0THC0LZ

Rationale: The root operation Insertion is used because a non-biological appliance is inserted to help the muscles of the bladder neck maintain urinary continence. The device value is L, Artificial sphincter. The open approach is specified.


Case study coding
1. 0TSD0ZZ

Rationale: This procedure is performed on the urethra and not on the glans penis. The intent of the procedure is to reposition the urethra to the correct location in the tip of the glans penis and, therefore, the root operation Reposition is coded. An open approach is used.


3. 0TP98DZ

Rationale: The inspection procedure is not coded separately when another root operation is performed. The intraluminal device is removed from the ureter. The root operation Removal is coded and a Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic approach is used.


5. 0TY10Z0, 0FYG0Z0, 0DPW00Z

Rationale: Two separate codes are assigned for the transplantation of the left kidney and the pancreas. The organs to be replaced may or may not be removed when a transplant takes place. In this case, they were not removed. Any removal of the replaced organs is included in the transplant and is not coded separately. The removal of the peritoneal dialysis catheter is coded with the root operation Removal and a device value of 0 for drainage device. The dialysis catheter is both an infusion and drainage device, but for the root operation Removal, it is coded as a drainage device.


7. 0TCB0ZZ

Rationale: The root operation Extirpation is used to describe the removal of the stone from the bladder. The Open approach is used to remove the stone in a suprapubic fashion. The Jackson-Pratt drain is not coded, as the drain is relatively temporary.


9. 0TV78ZZ, 0TV68ZZ

Rationale: The Deflux injection is used to restrict the ureteral opening and prevent reflux of the urine up the ureters. The Deflux is a substance and not a device. This procedure is performed on bilaterally, however the root operation Restriction does not have a body part value defined for bilateral ureters. Two procedure codes are required to describe the procedures performed, once for each ureter. Approach value 8, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic is used for both procedures.
