ICD-10-PCS Code For Lingula Bronchus: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0BR9 includes procedures performed to replace biological or synthetic structures in the lingula bronchus. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a portion or all of the lingula bronchus is removed and substituted with material that restores its structure or function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0BR9 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Lingula Bronchus Replacement Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes replacement of the lingula bronchus within the respiratory system using biological or synthetic materials that take the place and function of all or a portion of the body part. Procedures involve removing a diseased or damaged portion of the lingula bronchus and implanting a graft, prosthesis, or other material to restore airway continuity and function. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these replacement procedures supports correct inpatient reimbursement and reflects the clinical complexity of the case.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a surgeon removes diseased or damaged lingula bronchus tissue and implants material to recreate the airway structure or function. These codes apply to inpatient encounters where the replacement procedure is documented as the primary operative action.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents to the emergency department with a traumatic avulsion of the lingula bronchus after blunt chest trauma and is failing to ventilate on the affected side despite bronchoscopic suctioning and temporary stenting. Inpatient surgical intervention is performed urgently to remove the irreparably damaged segment and restore airway continuity using the patient’s own autologous tissue graft to re-establish airway function. The replacement restores ventilation and prevents ongoing air leak and infection. Typical codes: 0BR907Z
A middle‑aged patient with a longstanding focal bronchial stenosis of the lingula bronchus from prior granulomatous disease experiences progressive dyspnea and recurrent localized postobstructive pneumonia despite endoscopic dilation attempts. During a planned inpatient operation, the diseased segment is resected and reconstructed with a synthetic airway prosthesis to reconstitute lumen patency and prevent restenosis. The elective replacement is chosen because prior repairs failed and durable airway structure is required. Typical codes: 0BR90JZ
A patient with a prior lingula bronchus repair using nonautologous tissue develops chronic graft failure with persistent bronchial collapse and recurrent infections. In the inpatient setting a revision procedure is undertaken to excise the failed graft material and replace the segment with a new nonautologous tissue substitute to reestablish airway framework and resolve repeated infections. This revision addresses the complication of prior reconstruction and aims to restore function. Typical codes: 0BR90KZ, 0BR94KZ
