Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged woman with a newly diagnosed, multifocal invasive breast cancer in both breasts presents for definitive surgical management after staging and multidisciplinary planning; she is admitted electively for bilateral open resection of breast tissue to achieve oncologic control and clear margins. The procedure removes native breast tissue from both sides without placement of implants or grafts. Typical codes: 0HTV0ZZ
A patient with progressive, symptomatic bilateral gynecomastia causing pain and functional impairment who has failed conservative therapy is scheduled for inpatient bilateral open resection to remove excess breast tissue and relieve symptoms; the case is elective and performed to address quality-of-life concerns. The operation involves excision of breast tissue from both breasts with no replacement material used. Typical codes: 0HTV0ZZ
An inpatient with extensive bilateral necrotizing infection of breast tissue not responsive to medical therapy requires urgent operative debridement and removal of devitalized breast tissue on both sides; open bilateral resection is performed to control infection and source control without reconstruction. Typical codes: 0HTV0ZZ
