About 0UCLXZZ

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

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of Bartholin's gland (cyst), the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (71.22).

For a different body part, codes include 0UCGXZZ (vagina), 0UCJXZZ (clitoris), 0UCKXZZ (hymen) and 0UCMXZZ (vulva).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UCL0ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

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