Voice Box Examination With Biopsy

Nevada rates for HCPCS 31535

Passes a rigid viewing tube through the mouth while the patient is asleep so the surgeon can see the voice box directly and take a tissue sample for the laboratory. It is used to work out the cause of hoarseness, a growth, or a suspicious area on the vocal cords. This version is done without a microscope or telescope attached for magnified viewing.
