About 0VT74ZZ

0VT74ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the left tunica vaginalis using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lesion of tunica vaginalis other than hydrocele, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0VT04ZZ (prostate), 0VT14ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VT24ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VT34ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VT54ZZ (scrotum), 0VT64ZZ (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VT70ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Testes Procedures”.

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