Small Intestine Resection Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve resection of all or part of the small intestine within the gastrointestinal system and consist of cutting out or off the small intestine without replacing it. These operations remove diseased, ischemic, obstructed, or otherwise nonviable segments of small bowel. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of small intestine resections is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the extent of surgical removal, supports clinical records, and determines appropriate case mix and payment.
