Removal Of A Ganglion Cyst From The Hand

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 26160

This surgery removes a lesion, most often a ganglion cyst, that has formed from the lining of a tendon or joint capsule in the hand or a finger. These fluid-filled cysts can cause a visible bump, discomfort, or restricted movement near the affected joint or tendon. The surgeon opens the skin to remove the cyst and its connection to the tendon sheath or joint capsule to reduce the chance of it coming back.
