Sacrum Extraction Procedure Overview
Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve the extraction of all or a portion of the sacrum through an open surgical approach and target the lower bones of the axial skeleton. These operations remove bone by pulling or stripping using force and are coded to reflect the specific body part and extraction operation. Accurate coding of these procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the exact surgical action and anatomical site, which affects case mix and payment.
