About 0TQ37ZZ
0TQ37ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right kidney pelvis using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TQ30ZZ (open), 0TQ33ZZ (percutaneous), 0TQ34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TQ38ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
