ICD-10-PCS Code For Hepatic Duct Left: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0FM6 includes procedures performed to reattach biliary duct structures in the hepatic duct, left. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a left hepatic duct has been severed or detached and surgical reattachment is performed to restore ductal continuity. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0FM6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific reattachment procedure performed and supports accurate clinical documentation.

Hepatic Duct, Left Reattachment Procedure Overview

Procedures in the ICD-10 PCS 0FM6 group involve reattachment of the left hepatic duct and address injuries or separations of biliary duct structures within the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. These operations restore continuity of the left hepatic duct by reconnecting detached segments or reattaching the duct to a suitable location. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these reattachment procedures is important for reflecting the clinical work performed and supporting correct inpatient reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when the left hepatic duct has been surgically reattached after separation due to trauma, surgical transection, or other causes requiring restoration of ductal continuity. Do not use these codes for procedures that only revise, repair without reattachment, or bypass the left hepatic duct.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 45-year-old patient sustains a hepatic laceration with transection of the left hepatic duct during blunt abdominal trauma and presents hemodynamically stable but with bile leakage and peritonitis signs. During an urgent exploratory laparotomy the detached left hepatic duct segment is identified and surgically reattached to restore biliary continuity and control ongoing bile leak. An open reattachment approach is required because of the need for abdominal exploration and control of associated injuries. Typical codes: 0FM60ZZ
A 62-year-old patient with a prior hepatobiliary resection is admitted electively for definitive reconstruction after delayed presentation of a disconnected left hepatic duct causing persistent biliary fistula. In a planned operative setting the surgeon mobilizes the biliary tree and reattaches the left hepatic duct to re-establish ductal continuity and resolve the chronic leak. The controlled, non-emergent nature of the procedure allows for an open operative approach to optimize visualization and anastomosis placement. Typical codes: 0FM60ZZ
A 55-year-old patient who previously underwent percutaneous biliary drainage for a left hepatic duct injury returns with recurrent bile leakage after the drain is dislodged; imaging localizes the disruption of the left hepatic duct without extensive intra-abdominal contamination. The interventional team performs a percutaneous endoscopic-guided reattachment of the left hepatic duct to restore continuity and avoid repeat open surgery. A minimally invasive percutaneous endoscopic approach is used because of the localized nature of the disruption and the patient’s preference to avoid open reoperation. Typical codes: 0FM64ZZ
