Other disorders following mastoidectomy, unspecified ear H95. 199 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 H95. 199 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A mastoidectomy is surgery to remove cells in the hollow, air-filled spaces in the skull behind the ear within the mastoid bone. These cells are called mastoid air cells.
Routine mastoid cavity care involves removing wax and skin debris, examining the mastoid and middle ear for signs of recurrent infection or cholesteatoma (skin cysts), and possibly, application of medicines. How often this needs to be done depends on the size of the cavity and how much wax and skin an individual makes.

Types of mastoidectomySimple mastoidectomy. The lateral wall of the mastoid is removed. ... Canal wall up (closed) mastoidectomy. See the separate article: canal wall up mastoidectomy. ... Canal wall down (open) mastoidectomy.
The surgery will take about 1 to 4 hours. You will have ointment or gauze in your ear canal. Your doctor will take this out. You may have strips of tape or a bandage over the incision behind your ear.
A tympanomastoidectomy (say "tim-PAN-oh-mas-toyd-ECK-tuh-mee") is surgery to treat frequent ear infections that have damaged the eardrum and tissue in and near the ear. The doctor removes the abnormal or infected tissue in the bony area behind the ear, called the mastoid.
temporal lobeIn the well pneumatized temporal bone, the temporal lobe of the brain is separated from the middle ear and mastoid process by a thin layer of bone known as the tegmen.
The opening of your ear canal is typically enlarged to facilitate the cleaning of your mastoid cavity in the future. This surgery is sometimes called a radical or modified mastoidectomy, and it's reserved for extensive disease or recurrent (repeating) disease that's failed a more limited surgery.

How serious is a mastoidectomy? The extensiveness of surgery depends on your unique situation. A simple mastoidectomy will treat disease in your mastoid while leaving your ear canal and middle ear structures completely intact.
Mastoidectomy is typically required for patients with middle ear infections (chronic otitis media – COM), a long-standing infection affecting the middle ear and frequently accompanied by cholesteatoma (a destructive, non-cancerous skin cyst) or an unhealed eardrum perforation.
Usually, mastoidectomy surgery is done as an outpatient, but expect to take one week off from work or school to allow for recovery. The ear is usually fully healed six weeks to three months after surgery. Most often, mastoidectomy is combined with tympanoplasty (with or without ossicular reconstruction).
These data were extrapolated to obtain a nationwide estimate of the number of mastoidectomies performed annually in the U.S. With 99% confidence, we determined that 0.73 to 0.94 mastoidectomy procedures were performed per 10,000 population in Maryland and 2.55 to 2.74/10,000 in New York.

H95- Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified
H95.1 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. Short description: Oth disorders of ear/mastd following mastoidectomy. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM H95.1 became effective on October 1, 2020.
Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z98.890 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The first in this family of codes is 69631 Tympanoplasty without mastoidectomy (including canalplasty, atticotomy and/or middle ear surgery), initial or revision; without ossicular chain reconstruction. As the descriptor language reflects, neither a mastoidectomy nor ossicular (malleus, incus, and stapes) reconstruction is performed.
Code 69643 Tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy (including canalplasty, middle ear surgery, tympanic membrane repair); with intact or reconstructed wall, without ossicular chain reconstruction includes elements of tympanoplasty without ossicular reconstruction plus mastoidectomy that preserves the common wall between mastoid and ear canal or includes immediate reconstruction if the wall is taken down for removal of disease.
mastoidectomy an operation to dissect or open the mastoid bone for exposure or removal of disease. Depending on the amount of infection or cholesteatoma present, various degrees of mastoidectomies can be performed. The common wall between the mastoid and ear canal may be removed (canal wall down), left intact (canal wall up), or taken down but reconstructed, typically with cartilage. Mastoidectomies may be performed as stand-alone operations or with tympanoplasty or other procedures.
canalplasty – an operation on the external auditory canal. When performed with tympanoplasty, it is used to widen the ear canal to allow visualization of the tympanic membrane and middle ear. cholesteatoma – a destructive and expanding sac in the middle ear and/or mastoid process.
Differing from 69643, code 69644 Tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy (including canalplasty, middle ear surgery, tympanic membrane repair); with intact or reconstructed canal wall, with ossicular chain reconstruction, includes, ossicular chain reconstruction. The ossicular chain reconstruction (OCR) may be with the patients own bone or with a prosthesis; the type of reconstructive material is not specified as it is with several of the other tympanoplasty codes.
Replacement of one or more of the ossicles using either a partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP) or total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP), including mastoidotomy, with other elements of tympanoplasty is described by code 69637 Tympanoplasty with antrotomy or mastoidotomy (including canalplasty, atticotomy, middle ear surgery, and/or tympanic membrane repair); with ossicular chain reconstruction and synthetic prosthesis (eg, partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP), total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP).
Unlike codes 69631-69633, the second family of tympanoplasty codes include mastoidotomy. Code 69635 Tympanoplasty with antrotomy or mastoidotomy (including canalplasty, atticotomy, middle ear surgery, and/or tympanic membrane repair); without ossicular chain reconstruction, does not include ossicular reconstruction, but does include elements of tympanoplasty as well as performance of mastoidectomy.
