About 0WCJ3ZZ

0WCJ3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the pelvic cavity using a percutaneous 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 abdominal wall, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (54.0).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WCJ0ZZ (open), 0WCJ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WCJXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R.
