In this procedure, the laparoscope was used to assist in open resection. This is different than a completely laparoscopic procedure where the port incision is extended to accommodate removal of an organ.
ICD-10-PCS Draft Coding Guideline B5. 2 states that procedures performed via natural or artificial opening with percutaneous endoscopic assistance are coded to approach value F. The code for a laparoscopic-assisted total vaginal hysterectomy is 0UT9FZZ, with the fifth character value of F.

If only part of the spleen is removed, the procedure is called a partial splenectomy. Unlike some other organs, like the liver, the spleen does not grow back (regenerate) after it is removed. Up to 30% of people have a second spleen (called an accessory spleen).
A diagnostic laparoscopy (CPT 49320) or laparotomy (CPT 49000) should be entered as the principal operative procedure only when no other procedure eligible for assessment has been performed in that particular surgical case.
The absorbable sutures in laparoscopic surgery are generally used as deep sutures; they do not need to be removed post-operatively, like myomectomy or intestinal anastomosis.
An exploratory laparotomy (CPT code 49000) is not separately reportable with an open abdominal procedure.
Open approach is cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. If procedures are performed using the open approach with percutaneous endoscopic assistance or hand-assisted laparoscopy they are coded as open.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
