Patulous Eustachian tube, right ear
The definition for the root operation Extirpation provided in the 2013 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is “Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.” The solid matter contained in the definition may be an abnormal byproduct of a biological function or a foreign body.
Consider the example of a percutaneous thrombectomy of the left radial artery, which is coded to 03CC3ZZ: The following is an example of how ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS compare when determining a code assignment for Extirpation procedures. Staghorn calculus of the left renal pelvis removed via a percutaneous nephrostomy tube
Another indexing option is removal, subterm calculus, subterm bile duct, and subterm endoscopic–code 51.88, which is the correct code for this procedure. In ICD-10-PCS, the indexing can also be challenging for this procedure. Indexing ERCP directs the coder to the root operation Fluoroscopy, which is the radiologic portion of the ERCP procedure.
The ICD-10-PCS Official Guidelines include a specific coding guideline that applies to the drainage root operation, as well as a guideline for using documentation to determine PCS definitions.

The ICD-10-PCS Tables contains all valid codes in table format. The tables are arranged in alphanumeric order, and organized into separate tables according to the first three characters of the seven-character code.
Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a commonly diagnosed disorder of Eustachian tube opening and closure, which may be associated with severe symptoms and middle ear disease.
Abstract. In elderly patients an unilateral sensorineural hearing loss is frequently associated with a relatively more patent eustachian tube on the involved side. A simple method of investigation is observation under the operating microscope during tubal inflation by the patient.
Eustachian tube patency refers to how much the eustachian tube is open. The eustachian tube runs between the middle ear and the throat. It controls the pressure behind the eardrum and middle ear space. This helps keep the middle ear free of fluid. The eustachian tube is normally open, or patent.

Acute otitis media (AOM): Middle ear infection characterized by a history of acute onset of signs and symptoms, the presence of middle-ear effusion, and signs and symptoms of middle-ear inflammation. Autophony: A condition characterized by an unusually loud hearing of a person's own voice and/or breathing.
They concluded, Tympanostomy tubes improve hearing at 1 to 3 months compared with watchful waiting, with no evidence of benefit by 12 to 24 months. Children with recurrent acute otitis media may have fewer episodes after tympanostomy tube placement, but the evidence base is severely limited.
The use of combined myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion is considered medically necessary for individuals who meet any of the following criteria: Children or adults with recurrent acute otitis media (AOM) (more than 3 episodes in 6 months or more than 4 episodes in 12 months) with or without otitis media with effusion (OME) ...
When it is necessary to keep the middle ear ventilated for a very long period, a "T"-shaped tube may be used, as these "T-tubes" can stay in place for 2-4 years. The use of myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion has become a widely used and accepted method of treating various middle ear conditions in children and adults.
Tympanostomy is a companion procedure to myringotomy, and involves the insertion of a small tube into the eardrum through a myringotomy incision in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear.
