Voice Box Repair for a Web Across the Vocal Cords

Texas rates for HCPCS 31580

Opens the voice box surgically to divide a web, a sheet of scar or tissue stretched between the vocal cords, and holds the cords apart with a thin keel or stent so the raw surfaces cannot stick back together. The spacer is left in place while healing settles and is removed later. It is done for hoarseness, a weak voice, or noisy breathing caused by the web.
