About 0DN73ZZ

0DN73ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the stomach, pylorus using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other pyloroplasty, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (44.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0DN13ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DN23ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DN33ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DN43ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DN53ZZ (esophagus), 0DN63ZZ (stomach) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DN70ZZ (open), 0DN74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DN77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DN78ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 326 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures with MCC), DRG 327 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures with CC) and DRG 328 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures”.

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