About 0DWQ8LZ

0DWQ8LZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the anus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with artificial sphincter. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to implantation or revision of artificial anal sphincter, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (49.75).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DWQ0LZ (open), 0DWQ3LZ (percutaneous), 0DWQ4LZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DWQ7LZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 332 (Rectal Resection with MCC), DRG 333 (Rectal Resection with CC), DRG 334 (Rectal Resection without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Rectal Resection”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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