About 0DBQ3ZZ

0DBQ3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the anus using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of perianal tissue and excision of anus, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (49.04 and 49.6).
