Removal Of A Windpipe Tumor

California rates for HCPCS 31785

Removes a growth from the windpipe, taking out the affected length of airway and joining the healthy ends back together so breathing passes through freely. It is done for a tumor narrowing or blocking the trachea. Airway management during and after the operation is a major part of the care.
