The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0GC2 includes procedures performed to extirpate solid matter from the left adrenal gland. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when solid material such as calculi, necrotic tissue, or foreign bodies is removed from the left adrenal gland.

Adrenal Gland, Left Extirpation Procedure Overview

This group includes procedures that remove solid matter from the left adrenal gland and target the endocrine system. Extirpation procedures involve taking or cutting out solid material obstructing or contained within the gland without removing the gland itself. Accurate selection of the correct International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System code supports precise inpatient documentation and appropriate reimbursement. Coding must reflect the left adrenal gland as the body part and extirpation as the root operation.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient presents emergently with severe left flank pain and imaging demonstrating a large calcified adrenal stone within the left adrenal gland associated with localized inflammation but intact adrenal tissue. After failed conservative management and ongoing pain, an open operative approach is undertaken to directly remove the calcified material from the left adrenal gland while preserving the gland. An extirpation procedure is performed via an open incision to extract the solid calculus and control bleeding. Typical codes: 0GC20ZZ
A 45-year-old patient with a history of chronic left-sided adrenal pain and intermittent endocrine symptoms undergoes a planned, image-guided percutaneous procedure to remove a small localized focus of necrotic tissue within the left adrenal gland identified on CT. The percutaneous approach with needle access is used electively to extirpate the nonviable material while avoiding adrenalectomy. Typical codes: 0GC23ZZ
A 55-year-old patient develops persistent symptomatic adrenal cyst contents after prior percutaneous drainage, with residual solid debris and recurrent symptoms requiring a minimally invasive endoscopic-assisted percutaneous procedure. A percutaneous endoscopic extirpation is performed to visualize and remove the remaining solid material from the left adrenal gland without removing the gland itself. Typical codes: 0GC24ZZ
