Muscle Flap Reconstruction, Head or Neck

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 15733

This reconstructive surgery moves a section of muscle, along with its own blood supply and sometimes the skin above it, from a nearby area to repair a defect in the head or neck. Keeping the tissue's original blood vessels intact as it's moved helps it survive and heal well in its new location. It's used to reconstruct areas affected by cancer removal, trauma, or another significant tissue loss.
