ICD-10-PCS Code For Left Trunk: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0LDB includes procedures performed to extract tendon tissue in the trunk. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when an open surgical extraction of all or part of a left trunk tendon is performed.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents to the inpatient service after a traumatic avulsion of a left trunk tendon (for example, detachment of a tendon from the left abdominal wall) sustained in a motor vehicle collision. The tendon is irreparably torn and remains partially entrapped with devitalized tissue, so an open extraction is performed to remove the damaged portion of the tendon and prevent ongoing pain and infection. The procedure is documented as an open extraction of the left trunk tendon to remove the injured tendon tissue. Typical codes: 0LDB0ZZ
A middle-aged patient undergoes a planned inpatient operation for chronic, symptomatic degeneration of a left trunk tendon causing persistent pain and impaired core function despite conservative therapy. Because imaging and clinical exam localize the pathology to a specific left trunk tendon segment and salvage is not feasible, the surgical plan is an open extraction to remove the diseased tendon portion. The hospitalization is for the elective open extraction procedure and postoperative monitoring. Typical codes: 0LDB0ZZ
A patient is admitted with a failed prior repair of a left trunk tendon that has recurrent pain, adhesive fibrosis, and localized infection at the repair site. The surgical team performs an open extraction to remove the remaining tendon remnants and infected tissue to resolve the complication and allow wound healing. The operative report documents removal of tendon tissue from the left trunk via an open approach for management of the failed repair and associated infection. Typical codes: 0LDB0ZZ
