Tongue Stereotactic Radiosurgery Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve stereotactic radiosurgery targeted to the tongue and related structures of the ear, nose, mouth and throat body system. These treatments deliver focused, high-dose radiation to a precise location in the tongue to ablate or control lesions while minimizing exposure to surrounding tissue. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures is important for inpatient documentation and reimbursement because it captures the specific operation, anatomical target, and therapy modality used.
