ICD-10 code M43. 26 for Fusion of spine, lumbar region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
Figure 30-2 A dural "bleb" occurs when the dura has been disrupted but the subarachnoid layer remains intact.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M43. 26 became effective on October 1, 2021.
What is the ICD-10 Code for Spinal Cord Injury? The ICD-10 Code for spinal cord injury is S14. 109A.
Incidental durotomy refers to unintended tears or puncture of the dura mater: the tough outer membrane covering the spinal cord. Dural tears occur frequently during spinal surgery; when promptly recognized and repaired, they generally cause no long-term problems.
The dura mater, sometimes called the dura, is the outermost layer of the meninges. The dura is normally a tough connective tissue. The CSF is contained within the subarachnoid space, between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater layers.
63005 Laminectomy with exploration and/or decompression of spinal cord and/or cauda equina, without facetectomy, foraminotomy or discectomy (e.g., spinal stenosis), 1 or 2 vertebral segments; lumbar, except for spondylolisthesis.
A lumbar laminectomy involves the removal of the back part of a vertebra in your lower back to create more room within the spinal canal.
Lumbar decompression surgery is a type of surgery used to treat compressed nerves in the lower (lumbar) spine. It's only recommended when non-surgical treatments haven't helped. The surgery aims to improve symptoms such as persistent pain and numbness in the legs caused by pressure on the nerves in the spine.
Unspecified injury to unspecified level of lumbar spinal cord, initial encounter. S34. 109A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S34.

ICD-10 code: G95. 9 Disease of spinal cord, unspecified.
A laminectomy will include a fusion component if a patient has experienced slippage of the vertebrae or has a curvature of the spine. The surgeon will fuse the affected vertebrae using a bone graft.
CPT® Code 22558 in section: Arthrodesis, anterior interbody technique, including minimal discectomy to prepare interspace (other than for decompression)
If the surgeon performs a posterolateral fusion from L3 through L5, but does not perform a posterior interbody fusion, the traditional posterior lumbar fusion codes (22612 for the first level and 22614 for each additional level) should be used.
22633 - CPT® Code in category: Arthrodesis, combined posterior or posterolateral technique with posterior interbody technique including laminectomy and/or discectomy sufficient to prepare interspace (other than for decompression), single interspace and segment.
