Left Axillary Extraction Procedure Overview
Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve extraction of lymphatic tissue from the left axillary region within the lymphatic and hemic systems. Extraction procedures remove all or part of a body part by the use of force and are typically performed to obtain tissue, relieve obstruction, or remove diseased lymphatic tissue.
