(Health interventions)</td><td>SNOMED CT \"Procedure\" is the root concept for all procedures and maps conceptually to ICHI's root block \"Health interventions,\" which is the top-level organizational grouping of the entire ICHI classification. The match is inexact because the two concepts have overlapping but not identical scope — SNOMED \"Procedure\" includes diagnostic/assessment activities that ICHI may classify differently, while ICHI \"Health interventions\" includes environmental and behavioural interventions that may not all map to SNOMED procedures — and because BlockL1 is a structural block rather than an assignable intervention code.</td></tr><tr><td>265271003 (Insertion of artificial eye)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>BZZ.DL.AC (Insertion of ocular implant)</td><td>Both codes describe inserting a device into the eye/orbit to replace a lost eye. However, \"artificial eye\" in SNOMED typically refers to the visible prosthetic shell, while \"ocular implant\" in ICHI more specifically denotes the internal orbital implant placed after enucleation; these are closely related but not semantically identical components of the same clinical process.</td></tr><tr><td>88572002 (Injection of alcohol into nerve)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>ACA.GA.AA (Destruction of peripheral nerve)</td><td>Alcohol injection into a nerve is a form of chemical neurolysis (nerve destruction), making \"Destruction of peripheral nerve\" the closest functional match. The equivalence is inexact because ICHI restricts the target to peripheral nerves while SNOMED says \"nerve\" generically, and ICHI covers all destruction methods rather than specifically alcohol injection.</td></tr><tr><td>405323007 (Diathermy of vein)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IZD.GA.AF (Percutaneous transluminal destruction of vein, not elsewhere classified)</td><td>IZD.GA.AF covers percutaneous transluminal destruction of veins at unspecified sites, which encompasses diathermy as one destruction method but is broader in method scope. Conversely, the SNOMED concept specifies diathermy specifically but does not restrict the approach to percutaneous transluminal, making this an overlapping but inexact match.</td></tr><tr><td>232885000 (Atrioventricular valve annuloplasty using ring)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>HDF.ML.AA (Reconstruction of mitral valve or subvalvar apparatus)</td><td>Annuloplasty using a ring is a valve reconstruction procedure most commonly performed on the mitral valve, and HDF.ML.AA captures the reconstruction action on the mitral valve, but ICHI has no dedicated annuloplasty code and this SNOMED concept covers both mitral and tricuspid AV valves whereas ICHI separates them; the ring-implantation technique is also not distinguished from other reconstruction approaches at this level of ICHI granularity.</td></tr><tr><td>413633002 (Balloon dacryoplasty)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>BAD.FA.AA (Incision of lacrimal apparatus)</td><td>ICHI has no dedicated dilatation code for the lacrimal apparatus — the dilatation action (LG) exists for vascular targets but not for BAD. BAD.FA.AA (Incision of lacrimal apparatus) is the closest available code as both procedures mechanically relieve lacrimal outflow obstruction, but incision and balloon dilation are distinct techniques, making this only an approximate match.</td></tr><tr><td>233202003 (Balloon dilation of ductus arteriosus)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>HIJ.LH.AF (Percutaneous transluminal dilatation with insertion of device into ductus arteriosus)</td><td>HIJ.LH.AF is the only dilatation code for the ductus arteriosus in ICHI and matches the target, approach, and action; however, the ICHI code explicitly includes insertion of a device (suggesting stenting), whereas the SNOMED concept describes balloon dilation without necessarily implying device implantation, making the match approximate rather than exact.</td></tr><tr><td>235228002 (Balloon dilation of pyloric stricture)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>KBF.LG.AD (Endoscopic pyloroplasty)</td><td>Both procedures address pyloric obstruction endoscopically and aim to widen the pyloric outlet, but pyloroplasty involves tissue incision/reconstruction whereas balloon dilation achieves mechanical stretching without cutting; ICHI has no dedicated endoscopic balloon dilation of pylorus code, making this the closest available approximation under the stomach interventions block (KBF).</td></tr><tr><td>50080181000188101 (Brachytherapy of bone)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>MRB.GA.AA (Destruction of bone of unspecified site)</td><td>MRB.GA.AA matches the target (bone, unspecified site) and action (destruction), but its means axis (AA = open/unspecified) does not specify radiotherapy or brachytherapy — ICHI has no dedicated bone brachytherapy or bone radiotherapy destruction code, making this an approximate rather than exact match.</td></tr><tr><td>225150002 (Cleaning wound)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>LZZ.JA.AH (Irrigation of skin and subcutaneous cell tissue, not elsewhere classified)</td><td>Wound cleaning (SNOMED) encompasses the broad act of cleansing a wound by any method (irrigation, mechanical scrubbing, antiseptic application), while ICHI's LZZ.JA.AH specifically captures irrigation/flushing of skin tissue — the most common clinical technique for wound cleaning but not the full semantic scope. No ICHI code for generic wound cleaning exists; this is the closest available category under the integumentary system NEC block.</td></tr><tr><td>10029008 (Suicide precautions)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>VBA.TM.ZZ (Environment modification to influence self-harm behaviours)</td><td>\"Suicide precautions\" encompasses a bundle of clinical actions including close patient observation, removal of lethal means, and environmental safety structuring to prevent self-harm, whereas VBA.TM.ZZ captures only the environmental modification component targeting self-harm behaviours. No single ICHI code covers the full multi-component precautionary intervention, making this an approximate but meaningful match within the most directly relevant block (Interventions on self-harm behaviours, BlockL4-VBA).</td></tr><tr><td>64670002 (Embolectomy with catheter of aortoiliac artery by leg incision)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IEA.JE.AF (Endovascular extraction of obstruction of abdominal or pelvic artery)</td><td>IEA.JE.AF captures the correct target (abdominal/pelvic artery, covering the iliac segment of the aortoiliac territory) and the action of catheter-based extraction of an obstruction (embolus), but the means axis \"AF\" (endovascular/percutaneous) does not fully reflect the open leg incision approach of the SNOMED concept, and the target is broader than the specific aortoiliac artery.</td></tr><tr><td>15905001 (Embolectomy with catheter of celiac artery by abdominal incision)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IEA.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of abdominal or pelvic artery)</td><td>The celiac artery is an abdominal artery and the open abdominal incision maps to the \"AA\" (open) means axis, with \"JE\" representing extraction of obstruction — the closest ICHI action to embolectomy. However, \"endarterectomy\" in ICHI nomenclature typically implies removal of atheromatous plaque rather than catheter-based clot/embolus extraction, and the target is broader (any abdominal or pelvic artery, not specifically the celiac), making this an inexact rather than equivalent match.</td></tr><tr><td>80150009 (Embolectomy with catheter of innominate artery by neck incision)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IBA.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of artery of head and neck, open approach)</td><td>ICHI has no specific code for the innominate (brachiocephalic) artery, and its JE action combines endarterectomy and embolectomy without distinguishing catheter-based extraction from direct removal; IBA.JE.AA is the closest match because the procedure is performed via a neck incision on the extracranial head and neck artery segment, but the ICHI code does not capture the catheter technique or the specific vessel anatomy.</td></tr><tr><td>47912003 (Embolectomy with catheter of subclavian artery by arm incision)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>ICA.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of artery of upper limb)</td><td>ICA.JE.AA captures open removal of obstructing material from an upper limb artery (the subclavian falls within this target grouping), which is the closest available ICHI category to catheter embolectomy of the subclavian; however, endarterectomy strictly denotes intimal plaque removal, whereas the SNOMED concept specifies Fogarty-catheter mechanical extraction of an embolus, making the match approximate rather than equivalent.</td></tr><tr><td>46071009 (Embolectomy with catheter of subclavian artery by thoracic incision)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IDA.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of artery of thorax)</td><td>ICHI has no dedicated embolectomy code for peripheral or thoracic arteries (only pulmonary thromboembolectomy exists at HID.JE.AA); IDA.JE.AA captures the open surgical removal of intraluminal material from a thoracic artery via arteriotomy with the correct anatomical target (the subclavian artery is a thoracic artery, accessed here by thoracic incision), but JE action strictly denotes endarterectomy (plaque removal) rather than catheter-based embolus extraction, making the match approximate.</td></tr><tr><td>18404006 (Embolectomy with catheter of ulnar artery by arm incision)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>ICA.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of artery of upper limb)</td><td>The SNOMED concept describes an open catheter-based embolectomy (clot removal) of the ulnar artery, while ICHI's closest code covers endarterectomy (plaque removal) of the upper limb artery — both are open surgical extractions from an upper limb artery, but the pathological target differs (embolus vs. atheroma). ICHI has no dedicated embolectomy code for upper limb arteries, and the ulnar artery specificity is also lost as ICHI operates at the \"artery of upper limb\" level.</td></tr><tr><td>405399003 (Endarterectomy and angioplasty of aorta with prosthesis)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>HIH.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of abdominal aorta)</td><td>The SNOMED concept describes a combined procedure — endarterectomy plus angioplasty with prosthetic material — on the aorta without specifying the anatomical segment, whereas HIH.JE.AA captures only the endarterectomy action on the abdominal aorta and does not encode the angioplasty or prosthesis component. No single ICHI code exists for this combined procedure, making this an approximate match at best.</td></tr><tr><td>405407008 (Endarterectomy and angioplasty of internal carotid artery)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IBB.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of carotid artery, extracranial)</td><td>IBB.JE.AA captures the endarterectomy of the extracranial carotid artery, which is the primary component of this SNOMED concept, but ICHI has no combined endarterectomy-and-angioplasty code and no code specific to the internal carotid artery (only the extracranial carotid as a group). The angioplasty component (vessel dilation/reconstruction performed alongside the endarterectomy) is unrepresented, making the match approximate rather than equivalent.</td></tr><tr><td>405456009 (Endarterectomy and angioplasty of lower limb artery)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IFA.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of artery of lower limb)</td><td>The SNOMED concept combines two distinct procedures — endarterectomy and angioplasty — both on the lower limb artery, but ICHI has no single code encoding that combination; IFA.JE.AA captures the endarterectomy component precisely, while the angioplasty component (IFA.LG.AF) remains unrepresented, making any single-code mapping an incomplete approximation.</td></tr><tr><td>405397001 (Endarterectomy and angioplasty of aorta)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>HIH.JE.AA (Endarterectomy of abdominal aorta)</td><td>ICHI has no code combining endarterectomy and angioplasty of the aorta in a single entry, and no code covering the aorta as a whole across all segments. HIH.JE.AA captures the endarterectomy component at the most clinically common aortic site (abdominal), but omits the angioplasty action and restricts to one anatomical segment of an unspecified-segment SNOMED concept.</td></tr><tr><td>440190007 (Extracranial contouring of facial and skull bones for benign neoplasm)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>MAB.JI.AA (Local excision of lesion of facial bone, not elsewhere classified)</td><td>\"Contouring\" of craniofacial bones for a benign neoplasm is clinically equivalent to local excision/removal of a bony lesion to restore normal contour, making MAB.JI.AA the closest available match; however, the SNOMED concept explicitly covers both facial and skull bones together (not just facial bone), and \"contouring\" implies reshaping rather than a discrete lesion excision, so the match is approximate rather than equivalent.</td></tr><tr><td>773291002 (Fluoroscopy guided biopsy of abdomen)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>KMA.AD.AE (Percutaneous biopsy of peritoneum)</td><td>KMA.AD.AE captures the percutaneous biopsy approach within the abdominal (peritoneal) region, which aligns with the procedural intent of a fluoroscopy-guided abdominal biopsy, but the SNOMED concept's target (\"abdomen\") is broader than \"peritoneum\" specifically, and ICHI does not encode fluoroscopic guidance as a distinct means — only the percutaneous route.</td></tr><tr><td>718313003 (Fluoroscopy guided embolization of track)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>MRS.DB.AE (Injection into soft tissue of unspecified site)</td><td>The SNOMED concept describes fluoroscopy-guided injection of embolic material into a percutaneous tract through soft tissue, and MRS.DB.AE captures percutaneous injection into soft tissue of unspecified site but does not encode the specific embolisation/occlusion action, the fluoroscopic guidance, or the procedural context of tract closure. No dedicated ICHI code for tract or sinus embolisation exists.</td></tr><tr><td>397047005 (Fogarty embolectomy of artery)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IZA.JE.AF (Endovascular extraction of obstruction of artery, not elsewhere classified)</td><td>The ICHI code captures the correct action (extraction of an obstruction/embolus) from an unspecified artery, which aligns with the procedural intent of Fogarty embolectomy, but the means axis (.AF = endovascular/percutaneous) does not match — a Fogarty procedure is performed via open arteriotomy with a balloon catheter, not a purely endovascular route. No open-approach embolus extraction code for artery exists in ICHI, making this an approximate rather than equivalent match.</td></tr><tr><td>89398002 (Implantation of implantable intra-arterial infusion pump)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IZA.DL.AF (Percutaneous transluminal insertion of device into artery, not elsewhere classified)</td><td>The target (artery NEC) and action (DL = insertion of internal device) axes match the SNOMED concept well, but the means axis (AF = percutaneous transluminal) does not align — implantation of an intra-arterial infusion pump (e.g., hepatic artery pump) is typically an open surgical procedure, and no open surgical equivalent (IZA.DL.AA) exists in ICHI. No more specific arterial device-insertion code covering a drug-delivery pump was found.</td></tr><tr><td>711506006 (Implantation of patient-activated cardiac event recorder)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>HFC.DN.AF (Percutaneous transluminal implantation of permanent endocardial pacemaker or defibrillator system)</td><td>Both codes describe percutaneous implantation of a permanent cardiac device within the conducting system of the heart, but ICHI's HFC.DN.AF specifically names pacemaker or defibrillator systems whereas the SNOMED concept refers to a subcutaneous implantable loop recorder (cardiac event monitor) — a device used for long-term rhythm recording rather than therapy delivery. No dedicated ICHI category code exists for implantable loop recorder implantation; the ICHI \"Cardiac event recorder\" entity is an unassigned extension code for device specification, not an assignable procedure code.</td></tr><tr><td>1236930009 (Implantation of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>HFC.DN.AF (Percutaneous transluminal implantation of permanent endocardial pacemaker or defibrillator system)</td><td>The S-ICD is implanted entirely subcutaneously without transvenous or endocardial leads, whereas HFC.DN.AF specifies a percutaneous transluminal (transvenous/endocardial) approach, making the means axis a mismatch. No ICHI code exists specifically for subcutaneous defibrillator implantation, so this is the closest available code sharing the same target (cardiac conduction system) and action (permanent device implantation).</td></tr><tr><td>1010336006 (Right hydrocelectomy)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>NGL.FA.AA (Incision of testis and tunica vaginalis)</td><td>ICHI has no dedicated hydrocelectomy code; NGL.FA.AA is the closest available code as it targets the tunica vaginalis — the sac excised or everted in a hydrocelectomy — but captures an incision action rather than excision/eversion, and does not encode laterality.</td></tr><tr><td>429446009 (Insertion of catheter into blood vessel)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IZE.DL.AF (Percutaneous transluminal insertion of device into blood vessel, not elsewhere classified)</td><td>Both concepts describe inserting an intravascular device (catheter) into a blood vessel without specifying a particular vessel, making this the closest available ICHI match. However, the ICHI code constrains the approach to percutaneous/transluminal and uses the broader term \"device\" rather than \"catheter,\" while the SNOMED concept is approach-agnostic and explicitly names catheter insertion, so the match is approximate rather than equivalent.</td></tr><tr><td>48403009 (Insertion of infusion pump)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>LAB.DL.AA (Insertion of device into skin and subcutaneous cell tissue of trunk)</td><td>The SNOMED concept refers to insertion of an infusion pump generically (any site, any pump type), while the ICHI code captures the most common scenario — device insertion into the subcutaneous tissue of the trunk — but is both anatomically restricted and not pump-specific. No ICHI code for a generic or non-insulin infusion pump insertion exists; the only pump-specific ICHI entry is limited to implantable insulin infusion pump.</td></tr><tr><td>449380001 (Insertion of orthodontic screw)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>KAE.DN.AC (Prosthetic dental implant)</td><td>An orthodontic screw (TAD/mini-implant) is a temporary anchorage device screwed into jawbone for orthodontic anchorage, which is conceptually and functionally distinct from a prosthetic dental implant used for tooth replacement. ICHI lacks a dedicated orthodontic implant/screw category, so this dental implant code under \"Interventions on teeth\" is the closest available approximation, but the purpose and nature of the devices differ significantly.</td></tr><tr><td>1010436007 (Destruction of left fallopian tube)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>NMC.GA.AA (Destruction of lesion of fallopian tube)</td><td>NMC.GA.AA is the only ICHI code in the fallopian tube block that uses the destruction action (GA), but it specifies destruction of a lesion within the tube rather than destruction of the tube itself, and ICHI does not encode laterality (left), making this an approximate rather than equivalent match.</td></tr><tr><td>1010437003 (Destruction of right fallopian tube)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>NMC.GA.AA (Destruction of lesion of fallopian tube)</td><td>NMC.GA.AA is the only ICHI code in the fallopian tube block that uses the destruction action (GA) on the fallopian tube target (NMC), making it the closest structural match; however, the ICHI title specifies destruction of a \"lesion of\" the fallopian tube rather than the tube itself, and ICHI does not encode laterality (right), so the match is approximate rather than equivalent.</td></tr><tr><td>1010452005 (Excision of left ovotestis)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>NMA.JK.AA (Oophorectomy)</td><td>An ovotestis is a gonad containing both ovarian and testicular tissue and is not represented in ICHI, which has no gonadectomy or DSD-specific gonadal excision code.

The laterality qualifier (\"right\") in the SNOMED concept is also not represented in ICHI.</td></tr><tr><td>43628009 (Introduction of needle into carotid artery)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>IBB.FA.AA (Incision of carotid artery, extracranial)</td><td>ICHI lacks a specific needle puncture or percutaneous access code for the carotid artery; \"Incision of carotid artery, extracranial\" (action FA = Incision, means AA = Open) is the closest available category on the correct target body part, but it implies a surgical cut with open approach rather than a needle introduction, making the match approximate rather than equivalent.</td></tr><tr><td>1010714005 (Excision of left uterine adnexa)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>NMA.JK.AA (Oophorectomy)</td><td>ICHI has no combined adnexectomy (ovary + fallopian tube) code; NMA.JK.AA covers only the oophorectomy component of the adnexal excision and does not capture the concurrent salpingectomy, nor does it encode left-sided laterality (which would require an extension code). The SNOMED concept is clinically broader, as uterine adnexa includes both the ovary and fallopian tube.</td></tr><tr><td>1010715006 (Excision of right uterine adnexa)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>NMA.JK.AA (Oophorectomy)</td><td>ICHI NMA.JK.AA (Oophorectomy) covers total excision of the ovary but does not include the fallopian tube component that is part of adnexal excision, and does not specify laterality (right side); no single ICHI code exists for combined salpingo-oophorectomy, making this the best available but partial mapping. The right-side specificity of the SNOMED concept could partially be addressed with the laterality extension, but the multi-structure nature of adnexal excision remains unrepresented.</td></tr><tr><td>176054003 (Percutaneous nephroscopic balloon dilation of ureter)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>NAE.LH.AF (Percutaneous transluminal dilatation with insertion of device into ureter)</td><td>The SNOMED concept specifies percutaneous nephroscopic balloon dilation, which matches the percutaneous transluminal approach and device (balloon catheter) insertion captured by NAE.LH.AF. ICHI does not distinguish the nephroscopic (antegrade) route from other percutaneous transluminal approaches, nor specify balloon as the dilation mechanism, making it an approximate rather than exact match.</td></tr><tr><td>118754003 (Procedure on gland)</td><td><a href=\"http://hl7.org/fhir/R5/codesystem-concept-map-relationship.html#inexact\" title=\"inexact\">maps loosely to</a></td><td>EZZ.ZZ.ZZ (Interventions on the endocrine system, unspecified)</td><td>The SNOMED concept is a high-level grouping covering procedures on any gland (both endocrine and exocrine), whereas EZZ.ZZ.ZZ is scoped only to the endocrine system and excludes exocrine glands (salivary, lacrimal, etc.), which fall under separate ICHI body-system chapters.
