Ethmoid Sinus Surgery With Tissue Removal Beyond

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 31259

Endoscopic sinus surgery that clears all of the ethmoid air cells between the eyes, front and back, and goes on to open an adjoining sinus and take diseased tissue out of it. It is carried out entirely through the nostril with a thin telescope, so nothing is cut on the face. It is used for extensive, long-standing sinus disease or polyps that keep the drainage pathways blocked.
