About 0WPC07Z

0WPC07Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the mediastinum using an open approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPC37Z (percutaneous), 0WPC47Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WPCX7Z (external).
