Toe-To-Hand Transfer Microsurgery

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 26553

Microsurgery that moves a toe from the foot to the hand to take the place of a missing finger. The artery, veins, nerves, tendons and bone are joined under a microscope so the transferred digit gains its own blood supply, can be moved and can feel. It is done after an injury or for a hand that did not form completely, to restore the ability to grip and pinch.
