About 0TN48ZZ

0TN48ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the left kidney pelvis using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TN40ZZ (open), 0TN43ZZ (percutaneous), 0TN44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TN47ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
