* lysis of adhesions

* "freeing something up"

* spinal laminectomy combine this code with [[(T) ~~Peripheral Nerves~~, ~~NOS~~]]

* spinal laminectomy combine this code with [[(T) Spinal Cord, Spinal Canal, Meninges]]

* evacuation of hemorrhage eg. SDH or SAH combine with [[(T) Brain's Meninges, Dura, Subarachnoid, Ventricles]] and [[Drainage, Evacuation]]

* For Brain decompression secondary to a SDH or SAH code both the decompression of the brain- [[(T) Brain]] and [[Release, Decompression]] and also code evacuation of hemorrhage eg. SDH or SAH combine with [[(T) Brain's Meninges, Dura, Subarachnoid, Ventricles]] and [[Drainage, Evacuation]]. This is applicable for both craniotomy or craniectomy.

* craniectomy - Removal of a piece of the skull to relieve pressure in the skull, after a craniectomy, the bone fragment is not immediately put back into place, combine with [[(T) Brain]] if the intent is to replace the skull bone at a later date see [[(T) Cranial Bones]]

* POEM (Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy) for [[Achalasia of esophagus]], combine with [[(T) Esophagus]]
