ICD-10-PCS Code For Parotid Duct Left: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0CLC includes procedures performed to occlude ducts or lumens in the parotid duct, left. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician completely closes the lumen or orifice of the left parotid duct for therapeutic management. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0CLC group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Parotid Duct, Left Occlusion Procedure Overview

Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve occluding the lumen of the left parotid duct within the mouth and throat body system. These operations are performed to completely close the ductal orifice or lumen for therapeutic reasons. Accurate coding identifies the exact occlusion procedure and body part, which is important for inpatient reimbursement and clinical documentation.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient is admitted urgently with recurrent, painful swelling of the left parotid region and persistent salivary fistula after multiple sialendoscopy attempts. Because conservative measures have failed and the duct cannot be salvaged, the surgical team performs an open occlusion of the left parotid duct using an extraluminal ligature to permanently close the ductal lumen and stop salivary leakage. The goal is definitive control of salivary flow and resolution of the fistula. Typical codes: 0CLC0CZ
An elderly patient with chronic obstructive sialadenitis of the left parotid gland and recurrent infections elects for a planned procedure to eliminate symptomatic salivary drainage. The surgeon performs a percutaneous occlusion of the left parotid duct using an intraluminal embolic device placed under imaging guidance to permanently close the duct. This elective intervention is chosen to reduce recurrent gland inflammation when gland-preserving measures have failed or are not desired. Typical codes: 0CLC3DZ
A young adult presents to the emergency department with acute traumatic avulsion of the left parotid duct after facial laceration from a motor vehicle collision, with active salivary extravasation and risk of infection. In the operating room the team performs a percutaneous endoscopic-assisted occlusion of the left parotid duct to immediately stop salivary leakage and facilitate wound management. The minimally invasive approach allows prompt control of the ductal lumen in the acute setting. Typical codes: 0CLC4ZZ
