A new framework for surgical procedure classification was developed, identifying 10 key characteristics across objects, actions, and methods. This system aims to standardize surgical coding and enable comparison of existing classification systems.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Coding

Background:

  • Standardized classification of surgical procedures is essential for data analysis, research, and healthcare management.
  • Existing surgical procedure classification systems often lack a unified structure, hindering interoperability and comparison.
  • The need for a comprehensive, multiaxial framework to describe surgical procedures has been identified.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish structural elements for a novel classification and coding system for surgical procedures.
  • To identify and categorize key characteristics that define any surgical procedure.
  • To propose syntax rules and facilitate the comparison of existing classification systems.

Main Methods:

  • A project team (PT002s of TC251 of CEN) was established to develop the classification structure.

  • Identified 10 distinct types of characteristics applicable to all surgical procedures.
  • Grouped these characteristics into three main classes: objects, actions, and methods.

    • Main Results:

    • The 10 identified characteristics were categorized into 'objects' (topography, pathology, side, material), 'actions' (procedure, extent, numeral), and 'methods' (instrument, material, topography).
    • Proposed syntax rules for the classification system.
    • References to existing lexicons were included to support the structure.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed multiaxial representation allows for the retrieval of monoaxial classifications.
    • The proposed structure provides logical rules for updating and comparing different surgical classification systems.
    • The system is currently under development and open for discussion among stakeholders.
