ICD-10-PCS Code For Jejunum: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0DFA includes procedures performed to fragment solid matter in the jejunum. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs fragmentation to break up impacted or obstructing material within the jejunum to restore patency or enable removal. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0DFA group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Jejunum Fragmentation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes fragmentation of solid matter within the jejunum and targets the gastrointestinal system. Procedures break up obstructing or impacted solid material in the jejunum to restore luminal patency and facilitate removal or passage. Accurate inpatient coding of these fragmentation procedures supports proper documentation and appropriate reimbursement for medical and surgical care.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a practitioner intentionally fragments impacted or obstructing solid matter within the jejunum to restore lumen patency or permit removal. These codes apply when fragmentation is the primary objective documented in the operative or procedural record.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with sudden onset abdominal pain, vomiting, and obstipation presents to the emergency department. Imaging shows a focal jejunal obstruction from impacted bezoar/solid food bolus with proximal dilation; endoscopic fragmentation is attempted but incomplete, so an inpatient procedure is performed to break the obstructing material to restore luminal patency and permit passage or removal. Typical codes: 0DFA4ZZ, 0DFA3ZZ
A middle-aged patient with chronic opioid-induced decreased intestinal motility develops a symptomatic jejunal bezoar identified during a planned admission for enteric clearance; the team schedules a controlled percutaneous endoscopic intervention to fragment the solid material and avoid laparotomy. Typical codes: 0DFA8ZZ, 0DFA3ZZ
A postoperative patient after bowel resection develops a localized intraluminal fecal impaction in the jejunal limb causing partial obstruction and failed conservative measures; during an urgent reoperation or bedside surgical procedure, surgeons directly fragment the impacted solid matter to relieve obstruction. Typical codes: 0DFA0ZZ, 0DFAXZZ
