About 0DQ78ZZ

0DQ78ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the stomach, pylorus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

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 0DQ18ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DQ28ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DQ38ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DQ48ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DQ58ZZ (esophagus), 0DQ68ZZ (stomach) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DQ70ZZ (open), 0DQ73ZZ (percutaneous), 0DQ74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DQ77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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.
