[Answered]: Which statement is false

Which statement is false? Option A Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of the kidney, ureter, and/or bladder is assigned to root operation “Extirpation,” external approach). It uses shock waves to reduce the stones to a slush that can more easily pass through the urinary tract and be excreted over a short period of time. Option B ICD-10-PCS classifies the cystoscopic approach as “via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.” Option C Procedures described as transurethral should be coded to the approach “via natural or artificial opening,” while those described as transurethral ureteroscopic are classified to the “via natural or artificial opening endoscopic” approach. Option D When a cystoscopy is performed to visually and/or manually explore the bladder (without performing another procedure), it is coded to the root operation “Inspection” and the correct PCS code is 0TJB8ZZ, Inspection of bladder, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.
