Hemorrhoidectomy is huge term for coding of treatment procedures performed to treat hemorrhoids by different techniques or methods, ICD-10-PCS codes for these procedures are to be looked in different root operations. The main hurdle in searching a code for hemorrhoidectomy procedures is that there is no entry of the term hemorrhoidectomy in the ICD-10-PCS alphabetic index. A thorough understanding of the procedure in detail and the technique used is required to code the procedures in ICD-10-PCS. Coders must very keen in identifying the correct root operation where the procedure to be coded. Some examples of different hemorrhoidectomy procedures coded under different root operations in ICD-10-PCS like- Excision: As one of the procedures performed to treat hemorrhoids, involve the surgical removal of the varicose veins so excision is one of the common root operations where hemorrhoidectomy may be coded. Root operation excision is the procedure under which excision of hemorrhoidal plexus may be coded. Examples: 06BY0ZC- Excision of Hemorrhoidal Plexus, Open Approach, 06BY3Z-Excision of Hemorrhoidal Plexus, Percutaneous Approach, 06BY4ZC- Excision of Hemorrhoidal Plexus, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach. When the excision procedure is extended over the anal wall you may have to code hemorrhoidectomy as excision of anus, like in 0DBQ0ZZ- Excision of Anus, Open Approach and 0DBQ3ZZ-Excision of Anus, Percutaneous Approach.
