Reopening The Chest After Earlier Chest Surgery

Maine rates for HCPCS 32120

Reopens the chest between the ribs to deal with a problem that has arisen after a previous chest operation, such as continued bleeding, a persistent air leak, or infection in the chest cavity. The surgeon finds the cause, corrects it, washes out the space if needed, and closes the chest again. It is an unplanned return to the operating room rather than a stage of the original plan.
