Table 2 Included diagnosis and intervention codes for each procedural group

From: Productivity in relation to organization of a surgical department: a retrospective observational study

Procedure group 1

Procedure group 2

Procedure group 3

Diagnosis code breast cancer (C50.*)

Diagnosis code breast cancer (C50.*)

Diagnosis code malignant melanoma/unspecified malignant tumor of the skin (C43.*–C44.*)

Modified radical mastectomy (HAC22)

Resection of breast tissue ± lymph node biopsy ± reconstruction using tissue flap and suture (HAB** ± PJA10 ± ZZR70)

Lymph node clearance (PJD**)

Resection of breast tissue + axillary lymph node dissection (HAB** + PJD42)

Simple mastectomy ± lymph node biopsy (HAC** ± PJA10)

Wide local excision ± lymph node biopsy (QAE** QBE**, QCE**, QDE** ± PJA10)

Axillary lymph node dissection (PJD42)

Local excision of breast tissue (HAF**)

 
 

Biopsy and incision of breast tissue (HAA10)

 
 

Other minor correction of breast tissue (HAD99)

 
 

Re-operation after previous breast surgery (HWA00, HWC00, HWE00, HWD00, HWW99)

 
  1. *Each sub-code available to the main code is included, e.g., C50.* includes every code between C50.1 to C50.9
  2. **The same principle applies to intervention codes. When determining which procedure group a specific case should be included in, one must combine at least two of the listed codes. For example, a patient with C50.1 and PJD42 is sorted into procedure group 1, whereas one with C50.1 and HAB20 ± PJA 10 is sorted into procedure group 2
