The diagnosis is categorized as "Cardio-Vasc OR" due to limitations when we first implemented it. We never had a category for plastics or similar. Will leave it there for now, since the move to [[ICD10]] will take care of this.  
This diagnosis code is for the debridement of cardiovascular wounds only. For other types of debridement, see [[:Category:Debridement]].

Used to be called ''Other CV Procedures - Wound Debridement'', changed to [[Debridement - Cardiovascular]] to follow same pattern as [[Debridement-Abdominal]] Ttenbergen 16:29, 2014 September 11 (CDT)

* in other words: How to [[Skin grafting/Debridement]] and [[Wound Debridement]] relate in collection? Ttenbergen 11:34, 2012 November 26 (EST)
** Both are done by Plastics. Skin grafting is done in the OR whereas debridement can be done in the OR or at the bedside.--[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 15:17, 2012 November 27 (EST)
***so would the debridement in [[Skin grafting/Debridement]] be used only for skin grafting debridement, then?Ttenbergen 22:02, 2012 November 28 (EST)
**** Ususally but not always, a patient can have large deep areas with decubitus ulcers or fascitis that require extensive debridement but not always get skin graft.--[[User:FLindell|FLindell]] 08:59, 2012 November 30 (EST)
***** So would you use 763.29 wound debridement, or [[83700 - Skin grafting/Debridement]]? My point here is that I am not sure how they are different. Ttenbergen 13:09, 2012 December 3 (EST)
**Skin grafting adds to the wound whereas debridement removes from the wound. They are completely different procedures.--[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 13:31, 2012 December 4 (EST)
*** Yes, I understand that grafting and debriding are different, pretty much opposite. What I was wondering is, is 837.00 for drbridement related to grafts '''only''', then? And, does it mean that 763.29 should '''not''' be used for debridements related to grafts? Ttenbergen 11:18, 2012 December 5 (EST)
**** in order to clarify, could 837 (skin grafting/debridement) just have the word debridement removed from title?  All debridement procedures would then be under cardio vascular OR and 837 be exclusive to skin grafting.[[User:Jkublick|Jkublick]] Dec. 12,2012
