External. 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.

All ICD-10-PCS codes have an alphanumeric structure, with all codes made up of seven characters. All complete ICD-10-PCS codes can be located within the Index. The letters "O" and "I" are not used as ICD-10-PCS values so as not to be confused with the digits "0" and "1."
General guidelines B4. 1a If a procedure is performed on a portion of a body part that does not have a separate body part value, code the body part value corresponding to the whole body part. Example: A procedure performed on the alveolar process of the mandible is coded to the mandible body part.
A8 All seven characters must be specified to be a valid code. If the documentation is incomplete for coding purposes, the physician should be queried for the necessary information. A9 Within a PCS table, valid codes include all combinations of choices in characters 4 through 7 contained in the same row of the table.
Instead of the large incision required for traditional heart or vascular surgery, percutaneous approaches use special catheters and devices to treat the problem through one or more small puncture sites through the skin.
