ICD-10-PCS Code For Parotid Gland Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0CC8 includes procedures performed to extirpate solid matter from the parotid gland, right side, within the mouth and throat body system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when surgical removal of solid material from the right parotid gland is performed to treat obstruction, infection, or localized disease. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0CC8 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific root operation and body part to support clinical documentation accuracy.

Parotid Gland Extirpation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve extirpation, the taking or cutting out of solid matter from the parotid gland, right side, and target the mouth and throat body system. These operations remove obstructive or diseased material such as stones, necrotic tissue, or tumor fragments within the parotid gland. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures supports correct inpatient documentation and reimbursement by reflecting the specific body part and root operation performed.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult presents with acute onset of right-sided parotid gland swelling, severe pain, and purulent discharge from Stensen's duct after recent dehydration. Imaging and ductal probing identify an obstructing salivary stone causing intraglandular suppuration; the surgeon performs an open removal of the obstructing material and irrigation of the gland under general anesthesia. The procedure is performed inpatient due to systemic infection and requirement for close postoperative monitoring. Typical codes: 0CC80ZZ
A middle-aged patient with recurrent obstructive sialadenitis of the right parotid gland electively undergoes planned removal of chronic intraglandular calculi after conservative measures failed. Under image guidance, a percutaneous approach is used to extract hardened stones lodged within the ductal system to restore gland drainage and prevent further infections. The procedure is scheduled and performed as an inpatient because of comorbidities and the need for observation. Typical codes: 0CC83ZZ
A patient with prior partial parotid surgery returns with persistent focal necrotic debris and retained tumor fragments in the right parotid gland causing painful inflammation and impaired salivary flow. Due to prior operative changes and retained solid material, the team performs an open extirpation to remove the residual material and debride necrotic tissue under general anesthesia to reduce ongoing infection risk. The inpatient setting is used for postoperative wound care and monitoring for facial nerve function. Typical codes: 0CC80ZZ
