The device value is J, Synthetic Substitute. The root operation Excision is used to code the vitrectomy, body part value 4, Vitreous, Right. The root operation Replacement is used to code the corneal transplant. ICD-10-PCS does not consider the replacement of the cornea to be a transplant because it is not a living organ, only a body part. ................
