The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a US system of medical classification used for procedural coding.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set in the U.S., contracted with 3M Health Information Systems in 1995 to design and then develop a procedure classification system to replace Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.
In medicine, salpingo-oophorectomy is the removal of an ovary and its fallopian tube. [1] [2] This procedure is most frequently associated with prophylactic surgery in response to the discovery of a BRCA mutation, particularly those of the normally tumor suppressing BRCA1 gene (or, with a statistically lower negative impact, those of the tumour suppressing BRCA2 gene), which can increase the ...
Salpingectomy is the removal of the fallopian tubes. Salpingo-oophorectomy is the removal of the ovary and the fallopian tube together, when both left and right tubes and ovaries are removed, this is referred to as a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Scaphoidectomy [2] Septectomy is the removal of a septum. Splenectomy is the surgical removal of ...

Salpingectomy was performed by Lawson Tait in 1883 in women with a bleeding ectopic pregnancy; it is now established as a routine and lifesaving procedure [clarification needed]. Other indications for a salpingectomy include infected tubes (as in a hydrosalpinx) or as part of the surgical procedure for tubal cancer. [citation needed]
Based on where and what injury or disease is identified, one or more additional procedures may be performed during an exploratory laparotomy, including: splenectomy, or removal of all or part of the spleen [13] hepatectomy, or removal of all or part of the liver [13] pericardial window, in which an opening is made in the sac surrounding the ...
The first test approach to ICHI was largely derived from the Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI), [8] a portion of the Australian standard ICD-10-AM, which in turn was largely derived from ICD-10 and the United States extension ICD-9-CM. However, that approach was later dropped.
Europe and other parts of the world use the ICD-10. The root codes for ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM are the same, making it helpful for locating codes for general body systems and disease processes. [2] [3] In ICD-11 the search and coding of any disease, including rare ones is done via the ICD-11 website. [4]
