About 0VPS03Z

0VPS03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the penis using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

With a different device, use 0VPS00Z (drainage device), 0VPS07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPS0JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VPS0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VPS0YZ (other device).
