ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
48.59 — Other abdominoperineal resection of the rectum
About ICD-9-CM 48.59
48.59 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0D1N0Z4 (Bypass Sigmoid Colon to Cutaneous, Open Approach), 0DTP7ZZ (Resection of Rectum, Via Natural or Artificial Opening) and 0DTP8ZZ (Resection of Rectum, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
