Partial Removal Of The Voice Box

Colorado rates for HCPCS 31375

Takes out part of the voice box for cancer, removing the affected section while leaving enough of the structure for the airway to stay open and for speech to remain possible. Preserving the remainder is what separates it from an operation that removes the whole organ and leaves a permanent breathing opening in the neck. It is done under general anesthesia, usually with a temporary breathing tube in the neck and voice and swallowing therapy during recovery.
