About 0VW477Z

0VW477Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the prostate and seminal vesicles using a via natural or artificial opening approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of prostate and incision of seminal vesicle, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (60.0 and 60.72).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW877Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD77Z (testis), 0VWM77Z (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VWR77Z (vas deferens) and 0VWS77Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VW407Z (open), 0VW437Z (percutaneous), 0VW447Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VW487Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VW4X7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VW470Z (drainage device), 0VW473Z (infusion device), 0VW47JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VW47KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VW47YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 716 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 717 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 718 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “” and “Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.

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