ICD-10-PCS Code For Mesenteric Lymphatic: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 07BB includes procedures performed to excise lymphatic tissue in the mesentery. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when surgeons remove all or part of mesenteric lymphatic structures without replacement. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 07BB group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Mesenteric Lymphatic Excision Procedure Overview

This procedure group covers excision procedures that remove all or part of the mesenteric lymphatic tissue and targets the lymphatic and hemic systems. Procedures in this group involve cutting out or off lymphatic tissue within the mesentery without replacing the removed tissue. Accurate assignment of these codes is important because inpatient coding impacts case mix group and payment, and it documents the specific surgical action on the lymphatic system.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a history of colorectal cancer presents with new-onset, unexplained mesenteric lymphadenopathy on CT and a suspicious enlarged mesenteric lymph node causing partial bowel obstruction; the surgical team performs an open excisional biopsy to remove the mesenteric lymphatic tissue for definitive histopathology and staging during the inpatient stay. Typical codes: 07BB0ZX, 07BB0ZZ
A middle-aged patient with a known inflammatory bowel disease develops persistent mesenteric lymph node enlargement and recurrent abdominal pain despite medical therapy; after multidisciplinary discussion, a percutaneous excision of the affected mesenteric lymphatic tissue is performed under image guidance during an inpatient admission to obtain diagnostic tissue and relieve symptoms. Typical codes: 07BB3ZX, 07BB3ZZ
A pediatric patient with suspected lymphoma undergoes minimally invasive evaluation; during a planned inpatient diagnostic procedure, a percutaneous endoscopic approach is used to excise mesenteric lymphatic tissue for definitive diagnosis and to minimize surgical trauma and recovery time. Typical codes: 07BB4ZX, 07BB4ZZ
