CPT® includes a number of codes dedicated to lysis of adhesions (categorized by location). For example: Intestinal adhesions 44005 Enterolysis (freeing of intestinal adhesion) (separate procedure) or 44180 Laparoscopy, surgical, enterolysis (freeing of intestinal adhesion) (separate procedure)
ICD-10-PCS 0DN84ZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
Tumor lysis syndrome (spontaneous); Tumor lysis syndrome following antineoplastic drug chemotherapy; code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T45.1X5)
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.
0DB80ZZICD-10-PCS Code 0DB80ZZ - Excision of Small Intestine, Open Approach - Codify by AAPC.
value 0, openICD-10-PCS Draft Coding Guideline B5. 1 states that procedures performed using the open approach with percutaneous endoscopic assistance are coded to the approach value 0, open.
percutaneous endoscopic approach2b Procedures performed using the percutaneous endoscopic approach, with incision or extension of an incision to assist in the removal of all or a portion of a body part or to anastomose a tubular body part to complete the procedure, are coded to the approach value Percutaneous Endoscopic.
Code 0DNA4ZZ is an example of a Release code that describes a laparoscopic lysis of adhesions surrounding the jejunum.
5. Laparoscopic lysis of adhesions (CPT codes 44180 or 58660) is not separately reportable with other surgical laparoscopic procedures. 6.
An "open" surgery is one in which the patient is cut open. A typical open surgery involves the use of a scalpel (see scalpel) to make an incision into the skin and cut through the various layers of the dermis and sub-dermal layers and tissues to get to the desired tissue or organ.

It's a small incision or a puncture.
A percutaneous approach is entry by puncture or minor incision of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and/or any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure. Examples: needle biopsy of liver, peritoneal drainage.
Endoscopic means allows visualization Procedures performed DIRECTLY on the skin or mucous membrane and procedures performed indirectly by the application of external force through skin or mucous membrane.
If ICD-10-PCS contains a specific body part for anatomical subdivision of a body part, the root operation “resection” would be used when all of that specific lobe (anatomical subdivision) is removed.
CPT® Code 44140 in section: Colectomy, partial.
The term “burr hole” is almost always indicative of a percutaneous procedure. However, in some cases, the surgeon will make multiple burr holes and then remove the skull bone that is between the burr holes (like in a triangle) to actually get down to the operative site of the brain.
the kidney body partExamples: A procedure site identified as perirenal is coded to the kidney body part when the site of the procedure is not further specified.
