A CPT code 56810 (perineoplasty, repair of perineum, nonobstetric [separate procedure]) was valued under the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale as an inpatient procedure, and there are no practice expense relative value units added if the procedure is done in the office.

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code O70. 0: First degree perineal laceration during delivery.
ICD-10-PCS describes seven different approaches: open, percutaneous, percutaneous endoscopic, via natural or artificial opening, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, via natural or artificial opening with percutaneous endoscopic assistance, and external.
The perineum protects the pelvic floor muscles and the blood vessels that supply the genitals and urinary tract. The perineum also protects the nerves used to urinate or have an erection. In males, the perineum is the area between the anus and the scrotum.
An external approach describes a procedure performed directly on the skin or mucous membrane and procedures performed indirectly by the application of external force through the skin or mucous membrane. Examples: closed reduction of fracture, resection of tonsils.
A 1st degree tear is a shallow tear to the skin of the perineum. Sometimes a 1st degree tear needs stitches, and other times it can heal without stitches. What is 2nd degree tear? A 2nd degree tear is a tear to the skin and muscle layers of the perineum.
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.
The perineal body is an irregular fibromuscular mass. It is located at the junction of the urogenital and anal triangles - the central point of the perineum. This structure contains skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and collagenous and elastic fibres. Anatomically, the perineal body lies just deep to the skin.
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.

And any other body layersMoreSo open specifically says cutting through the skin or mucous membrane. And any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. So with open they're doing a large incision.
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.
The Obstetrics section is one of the smaller sections in ICD-10-PCS. It contains a single body system value, pregnancy (0), 12 root operation values, and three body part values: Products of Conception (0), Products of Conception, Retained (1), and Products of Conception, Ectopic (2).
THERE ARE NINE Medical and Surgical-related sections of ICD-10-PCS.
31 root operationsICD-10-PCS Root Operations There are 31 root operations in the medical and surgical section, which are arranged in groups with similar attributes (see the table “Medical and Surgical Section Root Operations” on page 59 for an alphabetical listing of all 31 root operations in the medical and surgical section).
This article continues the Journal of AHIMA's exploration of the different sections of ICD-10-PCS, focusing on the six Ancillary sections. These sections include imaging, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, physical rehabilitation and diagnostic audiology, mental health, and substance abuse treatment.
