| 3 | Root OperationH | Insertion Putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part |
| 4 | Body Part0 | Skull |
| 5 | Approach4 | Percutaneous Endoscopic |
| 6 | Device5 | External Fixation Device |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
