(Dorland, 28th ed) 13.19 is a specific code that can be used to specify a procedure 13.19 contains 10 index entries ICD-9-CM Procedure 13.2 Extracapsular extraction of lens by linear extraction technique 13.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a procedure 13.2 contains 11 index entries ICD-9-CM Procedure 13.3 Extracapsular extraction of lens by simple aspiration (and irrigation) technique 13.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a procedure 13.3 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Procedure 13.4 Extracapsular extraction of lens by fragmentation and aspiration technique 13.4 is a non-specific code that should not be used to specify a procedure ICD-9-CM Procedure 13.41 Phacoemulsification and aspiration of cataract A procedure for removal of the crystalline lens in cataract surgery in which an anterior capsulectomy is performed by means of a needle inserted through a small incision at the temporal limbus, allowing the lens contents to fall through the dilated pupil into the anterior chamber where they are broken up by the use of ultrasound and aspirated out of the eye through the incision. The small incision allows the surgeon to use very few or even no stitches to close the tiny wound. There is usually no need for hospitalization and patients may resume most activities within days.
