ICD-10-PCS Code For Left Axillary: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 07L6 includes procedures performed to occlude lymphatic structures in the left axillary region. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician completely closes or blocks lymphatic channels or nodes in the left axilla to eliminate flow. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 07L6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Left Axillary Occlusion Procedure Overview

This group includes procedures that completely close or block lymphatic structures in the left axillary region. These procedures target the lymphatic and hemic systems and involve surgically occluding lymphatic channels or nodes to stop lymph flow. Accurate coding of these occlusion procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific operation performed and supports correct case mix assignment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly woman with breast cancer and documented axillary lymphatic leakage after mastectomy presents for planned surgical management to permanently stop persistent postoperative lymphatic drainage. The surgeon performs an open surgical occlusion of the leaking lymphatic channels in the left axilla and places an extraluminal clip to close the vessel lumens. This inpatient procedure is intended to achieve complete occlusion of the left axillary lymphatic channels to resolve ongoing drainage and allow wound healing. Typical codes: 07L60CZ
A middle-aged patient arrives to the hospital with rapidly expanding left axillary lymphatic fistula with high-output lymphorrhea after trauma to the shoulder girdle; conservative measures have failed. The interventional team performs a percutaneous endoscopic occlusion of the identified left axillary lymphatic channel using an intraluminal device to immediately stop flow. The procedure targets complete intraluminal closure of the affected lymphatic channel to control fluid loss and prevent infection. Typical codes: 07L64DZ
A patient with chronic lymphedema of the left upper extremity after prior axillary node dissection develops recurrent symptomatic lymphatic reflux and a previously placed intraluminal device has migrated. During an inpatient revision, the surgeon performs a percutaneous occlusion of the left axillary lymphatic channels without implanting a new device to re-establish complete closure. The goal is definitive occlusion of lymphatic flow in the left axilla to reduce recurrent swelling and complications. Typical codes: 07L63ZZ
