Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure performed is a percutaneous endoscopic urinary system transplant. The root operation is "transplantation," which corresponds to the character "4" in PCS coding. The approach is "percutaneous," which corresponds to the character "Y" in PCS coding. The qualifier is "endoscopic," which corresponds to the character "S" in PCS coding. Based on the provided codes, only option C matches all three criteria. Option A is incorrect because it has a different root operation ("restriction"). Option B is incorrect because it has a different qualifier ("open"). Option D is incorrect because it has a different root operation ("fusion").
