Study on ICD-9-CM-3 Coding in Pancreatic Pseudocyst-Related Surgery
Pancreatic pseudocyst is the most common pancreatic cystic space-occupying lesion of the pancreas and one of the complications of acute and chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic trauma.Its surgical treatments include external drainage,internal drainage,and resection.In the ICD-9-CM-3,it includes drainage of pancreatic cyst by catheter or percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocvst 52.01,marsupialization of pancreatic cyst 52.3,pancreaticocystoduodenostomy or pancreaticocystogastrostomv or pancreaticocystoiejunostomy 52.4,endoscopic of excision lesion of pancreatic 52.21,excision lesion of pancreatic 52.22,proximal pancreatectomv 52.51,distal pancreatectomv 52.52,central pancreatectomy 52.59,etc.Based on the medical records of 6 cases of pancreatic pseudocyst in a certain hospital,this study discusses the ICD-9-CM-3 coding of different surgical procedures for pancreatic pseudocyst.It aims to improve the scientificity and accuracy of surgical coding for pancreatic pseudocyst and provide a reference for coders.
