Extensive Removal Of A Tumor From The Abdominal Wall

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 22904

This surgery removes a soft-tissue tumor from the abdominal wall using a wide margin of surrounding healthy tissue, an approach used when a growth may be cancerous. It is more extensive than a straightforward removal of a lump, aiming to take the entire tumor out along with nearby tissue to lower the chance it returns. This version is used for a smaller tumor; reconstruction of the abdominal wall may be needed afterward depending on how much tissue is removed.
