During a revision procedure, a malfunctioning or displaced device is corrected. A portion of the device may be removed and replaced in a revision procedure, but a revision procedure will never involve the entire device. If the entire device is redone, the original root operation being performed should be coded.
Replacement: putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part. Removal: taking out or off a device from a body part. Revision: Correcting to the extent possible a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.
Based on theory, it would seem that ICD-10-PCS root operations could be assigned correctly with relative ease; however, practical application sometimes intersects with coding scenarios that make one question the selection of the appropriate root operation.
