* I have used the category under Cardiovascular OR- wound debridement.--[[User:Lpruden2|Lpruden2]] 09:53, 2014 September 9 (CDT)

* I do not recall offhand an occasion that I used these codes. [[User:Ppiche|Pamela Piche]] 15:46, 2014 September 9 (CDT)

* There are actually 4 debridement codes:

** [[~~Skin grafting/Debridement]] which is a general code for any body part;~~

* There are actually 4 debridement codes (I have put them into [[:Category:Debridement]])

** [[Debridement-Abdominal]] under GI OR for GI surgery -related debridements

* (this article) under Cardiovascular OR there is wound debridement which I interpret as only for CV surgery- related debridements; '''The wound debridement code under Cardiovascular OR's should be clarified as I see many use it as a general code for any debridement anywhere. Perhaps we should discuss the rationale for this code being put in the CV OR section if it is intended to be a general code for any body part. '''

** [[Scrotal Debridement]] ~~under GU OR. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 12:29, 2014 September 9 (CDT~~)

** I think Laura nailed it, I didn't catch that this article was CV only. Will confirm renaming this dx code to be system specific and get back. Ttenbergen 10:41, 2014 September 10 (CDT)
