The first involves surgery of the soft tissue (tonsillectomy, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) and the second involves skeletal surgeries (maxillomandibular advancement).
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.
An "open" surgery means the cutting of skin and tissues so that the surgeon has a full view of the structures or organs involved.
2d when the intended root operation is attempted using one approach, but is converted to a different approach, the procedure(s) in the operative episode are coded to the approach ultimately used, and an Inspection procedure is coded using the approach value of the attempted approach.
ICD-10-PCS code 0CBPXZZ for Excision of Tonsils, External Approach is a medical classification as listed by CMS under Mouth and Throat range.

The access location for this approach is the skin or mucous membrane with visualization instrumentation being used to reach the operative site.
A procedure performed via a percutaneous approach (character value 3) is one in which there is entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure.
