`procedures`

Pack: clinicaltables · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/clinicaltables/mcp

“What is the procedure called [X]” / “medical procedure name lookup” / “patient-friendly name for [surgery]” — search clinical procedure names (NLM curated, ~7k entries). Returns short names like “Appendectomy”, “Knee replacement”. Patient-facing language; use for forms or intake screens. This vocabulary is SMALL and curated, so common terms can legitimately miss (“colonoscopy” and “MRI” both return 0, verified 2026-09-16) — a no_match here means “not in this list”, not “no such procedure”. For billing codes use icd10cm or a CPT source instead.
