This code should be used for '''debridements'''. In the case of debridements only (bedside or in the OR), this code should be coded as a "CCI collect first":<br> This pertains to cases where the patient has multiple burns, wounds or a big burn (includes decubitus ulcers). If however, a patient has multiple wounds to multiple organs or areas that require debridement, '''code each debridement of a different area or organ''', as "CCI collect first".

{{CCI Non-Std Code | Added an "d" for debridement to distinguish from the other "87" code [[Excision, Resection~~, partial~~]]; debridement would have usually been part of that code, but to allow it to be collected in [[CCI Collection Mode]] "[[CCI collect first]]" it needed to be a separate code. }}

*arthrolysis joint procedures

*exostectomy, also known as bunionectomy, or surgical removal (debridement) of bony prominence or outgrowth

*ethmoidectomy: removes infected tissue and bone in the ethmoid sinuses that blocks natural drainage

*for burns combine this code with the appropriate "(T)" code from [[:Category:Soft tissue]]

*Dilatation and curettage (D&C) combine with [[(T) Uterus and Surrounding Structures]] if the reason is to debride unhealthy or necrotic tissue, if the tissue is normal see [[extraction]]
