In the context of ICD-10-PCS coding, which operation is indicated for reshaping a body part?

The operation indicated for reshaping a body part in the context of ICD-10-PCS coding is described as alteration. This term encompasses procedures that modify the structure of a body part without removing it. In ICD-10-PCS, alteration procedures change the size or shape but do not involve excision or excision components, which is consistent with the general definition of reshaping.

For instance, a procedure that specifically aims to modify a deformity or contour of specific tissues or structures would fall into this category, making alteration the most fitting descriptor.

Other terms such as dilation refer to widening an opening or passage, which isn't specifically related to reshaping. Resecting, on the other hand, involves taking away or cutting out a portion of the body, and is not applicable when merely changing the shape is the goal. Additionally, while reshaping sounds like it could fit, in ICD-10-PCS terminology, alteration is the precise classified term used for these procedures.
