About 0DFN7ZZ

0DFN7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the sigmoid colon using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of intestine, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (46.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0DF57ZZ (esophagus), 0DF67ZZ (stomach), 0DF87ZZ (small intestine), 0DF97ZZ (duodenum), 0DFA7ZZ (jejunum), 0DFB7ZZ (ileum) and 10 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DFN0ZZ (open), 0DFN3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DFN4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DFN8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0DFNXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 329 (Major Small and Large Bowel Procedures with MCC), DRG 330 (Major Small and Large Bowel Procedures with CC), DRG 331 (Major Small and Large Bowel Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Small and Large Bowel Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
