About 0UC90ZZ

0UC90ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the uterus using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Hysterotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (68.0).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UC93ZZ (percutaneous), 0UC94ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UC97ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UC98ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 731 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with MCC), DRG 732 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with CC), DRG 733 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R.
