Analysis of Common Surgical Procedures and ICD-9-CM-3 Coding Cases of Pancreatic Pseudocysts
There are many surgical treatments for pancreatic pseudocyst.However,due to the non-standard filling of the front page of clinical doctors'medical records,coders can easily confuse the names of surgeries,leading to coding errors.Surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts commonly used clinical surgical methods include external drainage:catheter external drainage coded as 52.01 and endoscopic nasopancreatic cyst external drainage coded as 52.97;Internal drainage:anastomotic internal drainage coded as 52.4 and pancreatic stent internal drainage coded as 52.93;Excision surgery:partial excision of cyst wall(bag shaped suture)coded as 52.3,partial pancreatectomy of cyst with tail coded as 52.52,and complete cyst resection coded as 52.22.This study introduces the above 7 surgical treatment methods and coding for pancreatic pseudocysts based on case studies and performs corresponding coding analysis based on the National Clinical Edition 3.0 Dictionary of Surgical and Operational Codes.This will help coders become familiar with various surgical procedures for pancreatic pseudocysts,enrich coding expertise and clinical knowledge,and improve the accuracy of surgical coding for pancreatic pseudocysts.
