Removal Of A Deep Growth From Back Or Flank

Delaware rates for HCPCS 21933

Removes a growth from the soft tissue of the back or flank that lies beneath the tough sheet covering the muscles, often within the muscle itself. Reaching it means dividing that covering layer, so the operation is more involved than taking out a lump sitting just under the skin. This version is used for the larger growths.
