N20. 1 - Calculus of ureter | ICD-10-CM.
fragmentationExamples of fragmentation include extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) and transurethral lithotripsy. Fragmentation is coded for procedures to break up, but not remove, solid material such as a calculus or foreign body. This root operation includes both direct and extracorporeal fragmentation procedures.
ICD-10 code N20. 1 for Calculus of ureter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .

ICD-10-PCS 0TF6XZZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 98.51 Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy [ESWL] of the kidney, ureter and/or bladder.
ICD-10-PCS Root Operations Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gasses from a body part. Root operations involving cutting or separation only. Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part. Root operations that alter the diameter/route of a tubular body part.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a procedure to break up stones inside the urinary tract, bile ducts or pancreatic duct with a series of shock waves generated by a machine called a lithotripter. The shock waves enter the body and are targeted using an X-ray.
The two main types of lithotripsy are extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and laser lithotripsy. Laser lithotripsy is sometimes known as flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy (FURSL) because doctors use a tool called a ureteroscope.
N20. 0 - Calculus of kidney | ICD-10-CM.
Hydronephrosis is the swelling of a kidney due to a build-up of urine. It happens when urine cannot drain out from the kidney to the bladder from a blockage or obstruction. Hydronephrosis can occur in one or both kidneys. The main function of the urinary tract is to remove wastes and fluid from the body.
Hydronephrosis with renal and ureteral calculous obstruction N13. 2 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 N13. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
