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.
Percutaneous endoscopic approach (character value 4) is defined as entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach and visualize the site of the procedure. The access location for this approach is the skin or mucous membrane with visualization instrumentation being used to reach the operative site.
An open approach is defined as cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. Procedures performed via an open approach have a fifth character value of 0. The access location for this approach is through either the skin or a mucous membrane; the type of instrumentation used is not applicable.
