Permanent Windpipe Opening With Skin Flaps

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 31610

Creates a lasting opening from the front of the neck into the windpipe so a person can breathe through it. Flaps of skin are turned in and stitched to the edges of the windpipe so the opening keeps its shape and stays open on its own rather than relying on a tube to hold it. It is used when breathing will need to bypass the mouth and throat long term.
