Defining Computer-Assisted Navigation with Mazor X Stealth™ Robotic Guidance
A patient with scoliosis and progressive deformity was admitted for posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation. A longitudinal incision along the length of the spine was made. The posterior elements of the spine were identified and prepared for fusion.
A Mazor X™ robot was attached to the patient to assist in the placement of bilateral pedicle screws from T5-T11. Fluoroscopy with O-Arm™ confirmed placement of the screws, and the wound was prepared for closure. What is/are the appropriate ICD-10-PCS code(s) for computer-assisted navigation with Mazor X™ robotic guidance?
Assign code 8E0W0CZ, Robotic assisted procedure of trunk region, open approach, for the Mazor X Stealth™ robotic assistance used during the posterior spinal fusion. This robotic system is used to ensure correct placement of the pedicle screws.
