Line 7:

*Refers to destroying the body part ''in situ'' -- does NOT refer to removing the body part, for that use one of the "Excision" items (see below).

*'''Examples''' include:

** cardiac ablation (~~destroys part~~ of ~~the conduction system~~ of the ~~heart in situ~~)

** cardiac ablation = [[(T) Cardiac Conduction System]] + [[Destruction]] including:

** ~~vagotomy~~

*** '''Atrial Ablation''' - uses small burns to destroy the tissue that causes atrial fibrillation.

*** '''MAZE procedure''' - done for prevention of atrial fibrillation. The procedure creates scar tissue in an attempt to redirect faulty electrical impulses that cause arrhythmia/atrial fibrillation. It is really a subtype of atrial ablation and so is coded the same way.

** vagotomy = [[(T) Cranial Nerves]] + [[Destruction]]

** use for lithotripsy, combine with [[(T) Kidney]] or [[(T) Ureter, Bladder or Urethra]]

'''Excludes'''

* lysis of adhesions- see [[Release, Decompression]]
