Carina Resection Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve surgical removal of all or part of the carina, a structure within the respiratory system where the trachea divides into the main bronchi. These resections are coded when the operation performed is removal without replacement and are typically done for tumors, trauma, or severe disease affecting the carinal region. Accurate coding of carina resections in the inpatient setting is important for reflecting the complexity of care and for appropriate assignment of reimbursement under the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System.
