About 0VW480Z

0VW480Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the prostate and seminal vesicles using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with drainage device. 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, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (60.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW880Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD80Z (testis), 0VWM80Z (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VWR80Z (vas deferens) and 0VWS80Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VW400Z (open), 0VW430Z (percutaneous), 0VW440Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VW470Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VW4X0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VW483Z (infusion device), 0VW487Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VW48JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VW48KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VW48YZ (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”.
