If the sole objective of the procedure is separating or transecting a body part, the root operation is Division. Examples: Freeing a nerve root from surrounding scar tissue to relieve pain is coded to the root operation Release. Severing a nerve root to relieve pain is coded to the root operation Division.
(nū″rō-trĭp′sē) [″ + tripsis, a rubbing] Surgical crushing of a nerve.
12 If the objective of an embolization procedure is to completely close a vessel, the root operation Occlusion is coded.
Reduction of a displaced fracture is coded to the root operation Reposition and the application of a cast or splint in conjunction with the Reposition procedure is not coded separately.

ICD-10-PCS 0BJ14ZZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 31.42 Laryngoscopy and other tracheoscopy.
Listen to pronunciation. (tranz-ar-TEER-ee-ul EM-boh-lih-ZAY-shun) A procedure in which the blood supply to a tumor or an abnormal area of tissue is blocked.
Transcatheter embolization (embolotherapy) is the intentional occlusion of a vessel by deposition of thrombogenic materials directly into the vessel via an angiographic catheter.
A procedure that uses particles, such as tiny gelatin sponges or beads, to block a blood vessel. Embolization may be used to stop bleeding or to block the flow of blood to a tumor or abnormal area of tissue. It may be used to treat some types of liver cancer, kidney cancer, and neuroendocrine tumors.

Examples: Herniorrhaphy using mesh, free nerve graft, mitral valve ring annuloplasty, put a new acetabular liner in a previous hip replacement. The body part transferred remains connected to its vascular and nervous supply.
Nervous system diagnosis codes are assigned from chapter 6 of ICD-10-CM, "Diseases of the Nervous System." This chapter includes categories G00–G99, which are arranged into the following blocks:
Examples of procedures performed on the central and peripheral nervous system are revision of a VP shunt (00W600Z), percutaneous radiofrequency coagulation of the trigeminal nerve (005K3ZZ), suturing of the ulnar nerve (01Q40ZZ), left carpal tunnel release (01N50ZZ), and severing of the sciatic nerve via percutaneous endoscopic approach (018F4ZZ).
There are 20 root operations relevant to the central and peripheral nervous system. Coders should begin familiarizing themselves with the root operations and their definitions to prepare for coding in ICD-10-PCS.
The central and peripheral nervous system are found in the medical and surgical section of ICD-10-PCS. All ICD-10-PCS codes are seven characters long with each of the seven characters representing an aspect of the procedure. The diagram at left illustrates the seven characters of a code from the medical and surgical section.
Medical and surgical codes have a first character of "0 ." The second character for the central nervous system is "0," while the second character for the peripheral nervous system is "1."
A few conditions have been moved from ICD-9-CM chapter 7, "Diseases of the Circulatory System, " to ICD-10-CM chapter 6. These include basilar and carotid artery syndromes, transient global amnesia, and transient cerebral ischemic attack.
