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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0FT0 includes procedures performed to resect tissue in the hepatobiliary system and pancreas in the liver. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a portion or all of the liver is surgically removed for treatment of tumors, injury, or disease.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient with a large solitary hepatocellular carcinoma identified on imaging presents electively for oncologic management; after preoperative staging and multidisciplinary review, a planned partial hepatectomy is performed to remove the tumor-bearing liver segment while preserving adequate liver remnant. This is an inpatient, elective resection of liver tissue to achieve tumor control and margin-negative excision. Typical codes: 0FT04ZZ, 0FT04ZG
A trauma patient arrives emergently after blunt abdominal injury with hemodynamic instability and imaging showing active bleeding from the liver; during the same hospital admission, an open surgical lobectomy or segmental resection is undertaken to control hemorrhage and remove irreparably damaged hepatic tissue. The procedure is performed acutely in the inpatient setting for life-saving hemorrhage control and removal of nonviable liver. Typical codes: 0FT00ZZ
A patient with multiple prior hepatic procedures and recurrent localized tumor undergoes a planned, minimally invasive hand‑assisted re-resection to remove recurrent diseased liver tissue while minimizing operative morbidity; inpatient stay is required for postoperative monitoring and potential management of hepatic insufficiency. This represents a revision/re-resection of liver tissue performed via a percutaneous endoscopic, hand-assisted approach. Typical codes: 0FT04ZG, 0FT04ZZ
