Lumbar discectomy is a type of surgery to fix a disc in the lower back. This surgery uses smaller cuts (incisions) than an open lumbar discectomy. Your backbone, or spinal column, is made up of a chain of bones called the vertebrae. Your spinal cord runs through the spinal column.

ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on specified body systems Z48. 81.
Discectomy is the surgical removal of part or all of a vertebral disc that has herniated. The disc is removed by first cutting the outer annulus fibrosis and removing the nucleus pulposus to relieve pressure on the nerve root.
Lumbar Decompression Procedures 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.May 26, 2021
A laminectomy is a procedure to remove a greater portion of the bone (lamina) covering the roof of the spinal canal. A discectomy is a procedure to remove a portion of a herniated disc in the spine, which is bulging and pushing on a nerve.Jul 15, 2014
The surgeon uses small instruments to go under the nerve root and remove the fragments of disc material that have extruded out of the disc. The muscles are moved back into place. The surgical incision is closed and steri-strips are placed over the incision to help hold the skin in place to heal.

A lumbar laminectomy involves the removal of the back portion of a vertebra in your lower back to create more room within the spinal canal.Jul 1, 2020
M54.12022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M54. 1: Radiculopathy.
When discectomy is performed on multiple levels (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, cervicothoracic, thoracolumbar or lumbosacral) each intervertebral disc would be coded, but only once per level (i.e., cervical, thoracic, lumbar, etc.) An example would be a patient that has L3-S1 partial discectomies.
A discectomy can be either an excision (partial/removal of part of the disc) or a resection (total/removal of the entire disc). The operative report should describe if part or all of the disc material is removed.
A discectomy is surgical removal of any herniated or damaged disc in the patient’s spine. When a disc is herniated (slipped, ruptured, bulging or prolapsed disc), the spinal nerves may become irritated and “pinched.”. The discectomy does not provide relief with the actual back/neck pain, but does typically relieve the associated radiating pain ...
Most often, just the fragment of the disc that is irritating the nerve is removed leaving the remaining disc intact. If the entire disc is removed, the disc space may need to be filled with synthetic bone substitute or from the patient’s own bone ( see Parts 5&6 of this series). Discectomy is almost always performed during spinal fusion surgery.
The discectomy does not provide relief with the actual back/neck pain, but does typically relieve the associated radiating pain (radiculopathy) from the pressure/irritation on the spinal nerve.
Common areas of confusion include CPT code 63042. Re-exploration at a level with a recurrent disc herniation can only use CPT code 63042. It should only be used after the global period for the first disc surgery has expired. Repeat facetectomy and lateral recess decompression at a level with a prior decompression must use CPT code 63047 if no disc work is per-formed. The presence of a lumbar disc herniation (722.1) drives the CPT code.Another common misconception is code 63047. This code can be used unilaterally or bilaterally as long as the decompression involves the lateral recess and foramen. Posterior fusion codes that involve disc preparation (22630,22633) already take into account the decompression work. Using ad-ditional decompression codes (63005, 63012, 63030,63042, 63047) is not al-lowed.
The use of posterior fusion codes that encompass disc work (eg, 22630 and 22633) already take into account the removal of lamina, facets and ligamen-tum flavum. The interbody fusion codes also were written assuming bilateral interbody placement which requires bilateral decompression. In cases that require decompression plus fusion (L4-5 spondylolisthesis with central and lateral recess stenosis), only the fusion codes can be used.
