Removing A Narrowed Windpipe Segment, Neck And Chest

Illinois rates for HCPCS 31781

Cuts out a narrowed section of windpipe that extends from the neck down into the chest and joins the healthy ends back together. Because the narrowing reaches below the collarbone, the operation requires access to the chest as well as the neck. It is done under general anesthesia and involves careful management of the airway during and after surgery.
