Duodenum Release Procedure Overview
Procedures in the ICD-10 PCS 0DN9 group involve freeing the duodenum from abnormal physical constraints by cutting or force, targeting the gastrointestinal system. These releases restore normal mobility or relieve obstruction of the duodenum and may be performed for adhesions, strictures, or other restrictive pathology.
