ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
2W67X0Z	Traction of Left Inguinal Region using Traction Apparatus
2W67XZZ	Traction of Left Inguinal Region

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An older male presents to the emergency department with acute worsening of a large left inguinal hernia causing severe groin pain and suspected incarcerated contents. Inpatient traction is applied to the left inguinal region using a configured traction apparatus to reduce tension and facilitate planned reduction and assessment of viability of herniated tissue prior to definitive surgical repair. The traction maneuver is documented as placement of a traction device on the left inguinal region to apply distal pulling force. Typical codes: 2W67X0Z
A middle-aged patient is admitted electively for staged management of a chronic left inguinal soft tissue contracture after multiple prior surgeries. Preoperative preparation includes controlled application of traction to the left inguinal region using a traction apparatus to gradually mobilize scarred tissues and improve alignment before definitive reconstructive surgery. The record documents placement of the traction apparatus specifically on the left inguinal region for tissue mobilization. Typical codes: 2W67X0Z
A patient with postoperative lymphatic fibrosis in the left groin after prior oncologic node dissection develops restricted mobility and persistent wound tension. As part of a revision management plan, manual traction is applied directly to the left inguinal region without a mechanical device to relieve tissue tension and facilitate wound care and debridement at the bedside. The procedure note documents placement traction of the left inguinal region without use of an apparatus. Typical codes: 2W67XZZ
