Root Operation N: Release​

According to the 2013 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual, the definition of Release is “freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force.” The objective of Release procedures is to free a body part from abnormal constraint. Release procedures are coded to the body part being freed. The procedure can be performed on the area around a body part, on the attachments to a body part, or between subdivisions of a body part that are causing the abnormal constraint.

Some examples of Release procedures are adhesiolysis and carpal tunnel release.
