About 0DPP31Z

0DPP31Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the rectum using a percutaneous approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Proctotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (48.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0DP531Z (esophagus), 0DPU31Z (omentum), 0DPV31Z (mesentery) and 0DPW31Z (peritoneum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DPP01Z (open), 0DPP41Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DPP71Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0DPP81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0DPPX1Z (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 344 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures with MCC), DRG 345 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures with CC), DRG 346 (Minor 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 “Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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