This is the "wastebasket" code for the category of "what was done" to the body part in question.

Includes:

* removal of internal devices, including ureteric stents, nephrostomy tubes, esophageal stent, IVC filter, pleurodesis (if pleurodesis is done as part of Vats procedure with thoracotomy, then pleurodesis is not coded separately, only use [[(T) Pleura]] + [[Excision, Resection]])

'''Includes'''

*Autotransplant - Ex. [[(T) Kidney]] + Therapeutic Intervention, NOS.

* removal of internal devices, including ureteric stents, nephrostomy tubes, esophageal stent, IVC filter,

* pleurodesis (if pleurodesis is done as part of Vats procedure with thoracotomy, then pleurodesis is not coded separately, only use [[(T) Pleura]] + [[Excision, Resection]])

*Autotransplant - Ex. [[(T) Kidney]] + Therapeutic Intervention, NOS. Renal autotransplant is a type of surgery that helps patients manage severe, long-lasting kidney pain. During the procedure, transplant surgeons remove the kidney that's causing pain and implant—or place—this kidney in a different part of your body, also code [[(T) Kidney]] with [[Procure, Harvest, Obtain for Further Use]]

* [[(T) Parathyroid Glands]] & [[(T) NOS]] also code [[(T) Parathyroid Glands]] with [[Procure, Harvest, Obtain for Further Use]] for parathyroid reimplantation

*Includes tendon fenestration - Ex. for achilles tendon fenestration [[(T) Soft Tissue of Foot or Ankle]] + Therapeutic Intervention, NOS.

* removal of prosthetic joint

Excludes:

* milrinone injection to [[(T) Intracranial Vessels]] to treat [[Cerebral vasospasm]]

* vitrectomy- combine with [[(T) Eye, NOS]]

* therapeutic lung lavage combine with [[(T) Lung]]

'''Excludes:'''

* tunneled catheters, foley, NG, drains, chest tubes, pacing wires, FMS, see [[List of CCI procedures we don't code]]
