About 0TV70ZZ

0TV70ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the left ureter using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of ureter, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (56.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0TV30ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TV40ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TV60ZZ (right ureter), 0TVB0ZZ (bladder), 0TVC0ZZ (bladder neck) and 0TVD0ZZ (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TV73ZZ (percutaneous), 0TV74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TV77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TV78ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0TV70CZ (extraluminal device) and 0TV70DZ (intraluminal device).
