What code is used for repairing the ear on a fetus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach, with no device?

The correct code for repairing the ear on a fetus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach, with no device, is 10Q04ZJ.

In this code, the structure being repaired is the ear, specifically indicated by the "04" in the fourth position of the code. The fifth position "Z" indicates that this is a repair procedure. The sixth position "J" specifies the approach used, which in this case is percutaneous, meaning it is performed through the skin, often with a camera or scope guiding the procedure. This aligns with the description of utilizing an endoscopic approach.

When coding for such procedures, it is crucial to match the specifics of the procedure (i.e., the anatomy involved, the type of procedure, and the approach) to the correct representation in the code. The other codes refer to different approaches or combinations that do not accurately represent the specific details given in the question, such as the use of different devices or altering the anatomical site coded.

Thus, 10Q04ZJ effectively embodies the details of the procedure: it represents a non-device repair procedure targeting the ear in a fetus through a percutaneous endoscopic method.
