About 0TND3ZZ

0TND3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the urethra using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to release of urethral stricture, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (58.5).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TND0ZZ (open), 0TND4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TND7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0TND8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0TNDXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 671 (Urethral Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 672 (Urethral Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 749 (Other Female Reproductive System O.R.
