Repair Of A Narrowed Airway To The Lung

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 31770

Surgery to rebuild a bronchus — one of the large airway branches leading into a lung — where it has become narrowed or damaged, so air can once again reach the lung tissue beyond. The chest is opened to work on the airway directly. It is done for scarring, injury, or a growth that has blocked the branch, and it can save a lung that would otherwise have to be removed.
