Identify the correct root operation term used in ICD-10-PCS for the following:

a. Lithotripsy left ureter with removal of fragment
b. Lithotripsy is the breaking up of a stone within the body, which would be reported with the ICD-10-PCS root operation term "fragmentation."
c. Then, you must complete the story, reporting the removal of the fragment (fragment of the broken stone) reported with the ICD-10-PCS term "extirpation."
d. Remember, in ICD-10-PCS the term "removal" is only used when a device is taken out.
