The diagnosis is categorized as "Cardio-Vasc OR" due to limitations when we first implemented it. We never had a category for plastics or similar. Will leave it there for now, since the move to ICD10 will take care of this.
How do dxs and relate?
- in other words: How to Skin grafting/Debridement and Wound Debridement relate in collection? Ttenbergen 11:34, 2012 November 26 (EST)
- Both are done by Plastics. Skin grafting is done in the OR whereas debridement can be done in the OR or at the bedside.--CMarks 15:17, 2012 November 27 (EST)
- so would the debridement in Skin grafting/Debridement be used only for skin grafting debridement, then?Ttenbergen 22:02, 2012 November 28 (EST)
- Ususally but not always, a patient can have large deep areas with decubitus ulcers or fascitis that require extensive debridement but not always get skin graft.--FLindell 08:59, 2012 November 30 (EST)
- So would you use 763.29 wound debridement, or 83700 - Skin grafting/Debridement? My point here is that I am not sure how they are different. Ttenbergen 13:09, 2012 December 3 (EST)

- Skin grafting adds to the wound whereas debridement removes from the wound. They are completely different procedures.--CMarks 13:31, 2012 December 4 (EST)
- Yes, I understand that grafting and debriding are different, pretty much opposite. What I was wondering is, is 837.00 for drbridement related to grafts only, then? And, does it mean that 763.29 should not be used for debridements related to grafts? Ttenbergen 11:18, 2012 December 5 (EST)
- in order to clarify, could 837 (skin grafting/debridement) just have the word debridement removed from title? All debridement procedures would then be under cardio vascular OR and 837 be exclusive to skin grafting.Jkublick Dec. 12,2012
