About 0TN60ZZ

0TN60ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the right ureter using an open 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 0TN63ZZ (percutaneous), 0TN64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TN67ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TN68ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
