Anesthesia for Thoracoplasty, Reshaping the Chest Wall

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 00472

Anesthesia care for a thoracoplasty, an operation that removes or reshapes ribs so that part of the chest wall falls inward onto a diseased or infected space beneath it. The anesthesia team manages breathing through an operation that deliberately alters the mechanics of the chest, controls blood loss, and arranges strong pain relief for afterward. The surgeon's work is charged separately.
