About 0TS20ZZ
0TS20ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the bilateral kidneys using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TS24ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
