About 0WCG4ZZ

0WCG4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the peritoneal cavity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of foreign body from peritoneal cavity, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (54.92).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WCG0ZZ (open), 0WCG3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0WCGXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 673 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCC), DRG 674 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with CC) and DRG 675 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Digestive System O.R.
