Code 10D07Z4 indicates "Delivery of Products of Conception, Via Natural or Artificial Route, Assisted by Forceps, Without Mention of Sterilization, Mid Forceps". This code encompasses the use of mid forceps in the delivery. The other codes (10D17ZZ, 0W8NXZZ, 10E0XZZ) do not specifically address the use of forceps or episiotomy, and therefore are not the best choices for this scenario.
