Q

extirpation

A

taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part
solid matter may be abnormal byproduct of biological function; may be imbedded in a body part/lumen of tubular structure; may or may not have been previously broken into pieces

16
Q

insertion

A

putting in nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part

17
Q

inspection

A

visually and/or manually exploring a body part
visual performed w or w/o optical instrumentation; manual performed directly or through intervening body layers

18
Q

map

A

locating the route of passage of electrical impulses and/or locating functional areas in body part
applicable only to the cardiac conduction mechanism and the central nervous system

19
Q

occlusion

A

completely closing an orifice or lumen of a tubular body part
orifice can be natural or artificial

20
Q

reattachment

A

putting back in/on all/a portion of a separated body part to normal/other suitable location

21
Q

release

A

freeing body part from abnormal physical restraint
some restraining tissue may be taken out, none of body part is taken out

22
Q

removal of device from

A

taking out/off device from body part
if replaced with similar device w/o puncturing/cutting skin/mucous membrane, root op is change; otherwise root op is removal

23
Q

repair

A

restoring to extent possible a body part to its normal anatomic structure/function
used only when method to accomplish repair is not one of the other root operations

24
Q

replacement

A

putting in/on biological/synthetic material that physically takes place/function of all/a portion of a body part
body part may be taken out, eradicated, rendered nonfunctional; removal coded for taking out device used in previous replacement procedure

25
Q

reposition

A

moving to its normal location or other suitable location, all or portion of body part
the part is moved to new from abnormal location where it is not functioning correctly; may or may not be cut out/off to be moved

26
Q

resection

A

cutting out/off w/o replacement, all of a body part

27
Q

restriction

A

partially closing orifice/lumen of a tubular body part
can be natural or artificial body part

28
Q

revision

A

correcting, to extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning or position of displaced device
can include correcting malfunction or displacement by taking out/putting in a part of device

29
Q

supplement

A

putting in biologic/synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments function of a portion of a body part
biological material is nonliving or living and from same individual; may have been previously replaced, supplement procedure is performed to physically reinforce replacement

30
Q

transfer

A

moving, w/o taking out, all/portion of body part to another location to take over function of all/portion of a body part
transferred part remains connected to its vascular/nervous supply

31
Q

transplantation

A

putting in/on all/portion of living body part taken from another individual/animal to physically take the place and/or function of all/a portion of a similar body part
native body part may/may not be taken out; transplanted body part may take over all/a portion of its function
