食管癌相关ICD编码与DRG分组情况分析OA

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor.The lesion sites often overlap and the complex surgical process making coding difficult.The disease coding for esophageal cancer can be divided into single-site C15.0-C15.5,overlap-ping within the esophageal category C15.8,overlapping within the thoracic segment C15.1,esophagogastric junction C16.0,hy-popharyngeal-esophageal junction C76.8,etc.Radical resection of esophageal cancer includes partial esophagectomy(42.41)and total esophagectomy(42.42).Common surgical approaches include the simple left thoracotomy SWEET procedure,right tho-racic and abdominal two-incision Ivor-Lewis procedure,cervical-thoracic-abdominal three-incision McKeown procedure,minimal-ly invasive esophagectomy,etc.Select the specific code based on the type of incision and whether thoracoscopy is assisted or not.Digestive tract reconstruction includes gastric substitution for esophagus(42.52),jejunal substitution for esophagus(42.53,45.51)and colonic substitution for esophagus(42.55,45.52).Based on CN-DRG,esophageal cancer is assigned to GR1,GJ1,GB1,GB3 and GC2 groups according to different treatment methods.Coders should carefully read the surgical records to code accurately,while strengthening the analysis and application of DRG grouping.
