ICD-10-PCS Code For Small Intestine: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0DL8 includes procedures performed to occlude lumens or structures in the small intestine. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a procedure is performed to completely close the small intestinal lumen to stop flow, exclude a segment, or control pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0DL8 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Small Intestine Occlusion Procedure Overview

This group includes procedures that completely close the lumen of the small intestine as part of medical and surgical treatment of the gastrointestinal system. These occlusion procedures deliberately block or seal the small intestinal lumen to stop flow, control bleeding, or exclude diseased segments. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures ensures the inpatient record reflects the specific operation performed and supports appropriate reimbursement for the treated gastrointestinal condition.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents emergently with small-bowel obstruction from a strangulated internal hernia causing ischemia of a segment of jejunum; after resection of the necrotic segment the surgeon excludes the proximal and distal bowel ends to prevent luminal contamination and control enteric contents prior to reanastomosis or creation of a stoma, requiring complete occlusion of the small intestinal lumen via an open abdominal procedure. Typical codes: 0DL80ZZ, 0DL80DZ
A middle-aged patient with recurrent, refractory bleeding from a localized arteriovenous malformation in the distal ileum is admitted for planned endoscopic-assisted exclusion of the affected segment; during a percutaneous endoscopic approach the lumen is intentionally occluded with an intraluminal device to isolate the lesion and stop enteric flow while additional therapy is applied. Typical codes: 0DL84DZ, 0DL84ZZ
A postoperative patient develops an enteric fistula after prior small-bowel surgery and requires percutaneous image-guided occlusion of the fistulous small intestinal lumen to control output and allow inflammation to settle before definitive reconstruction; the procedure uses an extraluminal device placed percutaneously to completely close the lumen. Typical codes: 0DL83CZ, 0DL83ZZ
