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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0DPU includes procedures performed to remove devices or tissue from the omentum in the gastrointestinal system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs removal of the omentum for diagnostic, therapeutic, or complication management purposes. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0DPU group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and the specific body part treated, which determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Omentum Removal Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes removal procedures that target the omentum within the gastrointestinal system. These procedures involve taking out or off portions of the omentum and may be performed for diagnostic, therapeutic, or complication-management reasons. Accurate coding of omentum removal is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the specific operation and body part treated, which affects case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly inpatient with cirrhosis and refractory ascites develops a tense, symptomatic abdominal distension and requires placement of a temporary drainage catheter into the omental space; after resolution of the acute fluid collection and concerns for device-related infection, the surgical team removes the drainage device from the omentum to prevent ongoing sepsis. Typical codes: 0DPU00Z.
A patient with a history of intraperitoneal radioactive seed therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer is admitted electively for planned removal of residual radioactive elements embedded in the omentum after surveillance imaging shows localized retained material causing pain; the procedure is performed to eliminate radiation source-related symptoms and reduce local complications. Typical codes: 0DPU01Z.
A middle-aged patient who previously underwent omental patching using a synthetic tissue substitute for a gastroperitoneal fistula presents with chronic abdominal pain and signs of inflammation consistent with reaction to the implant; during an inpatient revision, the synthetic substitute is taken out from the omentum to control the foreign-body reaction and address the complication. Typical codes: 0DPU0JZ.
