Endoscopic Tracheoesophageal Puncture

In table 0B1, Bypass of Respiratory System, the approach value 8 Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic, was added to the body part value 1 Trachea, for the device value D Intraluminal Device, and the qualifier value 6 Esophagus. This addition to the table will enable the reporting of endoscopic tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) procedures that are performed endoscopically via a natural or artificial opening.Body Part Approach Device Qualifier 1 Trachea 8 Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic D Intraluminal Device 6 Esophagus A TEP with voice prosthesis provides the ability to speak after a total laryngectomy.
