| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body SystemV | Male Reproductive System |
| 3 | Root OperationN | Release Freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force |

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 10 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 12 — : DRG 715, DRG 716
- MDC 12 — Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures: DRG 717, DRG 718
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
- MDC 24 — Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 957, DRG 958, DRG 959
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
