About 0DQH0ZZ

0DQH0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the cecum using an open 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 repair of intestine, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (46.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0DQ10ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DQ20ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DQ30ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DQ40ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DQ50ZZ (esophagus), 0DQ60ZZ (stomach) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DQH3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DQH4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DQH7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DQH8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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.
