What is the state of this work? It looks like this position was first reached in July 2025. And mentioned in the Oct-25, and Jan-26 (not present in April).
From what I can tell there’s been no progress?
All 465 Laparoscopy procedures still have this role group.
Is there an ETA on fixing this?
The impact on extensions is that classifications results are dependent on how they’ve modelled the content - especially any concepts adhering proximal primitive modelling.
Hi @mcordell
Changes agreed within the EAG to the 423827005 |Endoscopy (procedure)| hierarchy are under review by the EAG members. Those changes include the retirement of the Incision RG from all intracavitary endoscopies among other changes. We expect comments from the EAG group but all changes are finished waiting for promotion.
This work wasn’t mentioned explicitly in the April’s agenda (retirement of the Incision RG) but you can see in item 3, “Update on previous discussions” and “Endoscopy revision”. May you have additional comments or questions, please let me know.
Thanks Victor, no feedback - just waiting on the changes so we can properly refactor our extension to align with the new pattern.
We’ve got a mix of proximal primitive and logical invariant modelling - and because of the introduction of the incision role group (that should never have been added to begin with…) all our “proximal primitive” laparoscopies are no longer subtypes of laparoscopy (127)…
So the sooner it’s fixed, and the updated - we can fix our extension content.
(Similarly affected content also exists in Ireland (1), Netherlands (3), Sweden (21), UK (41), US (1), Korea (2) that would also need to be fixed).
