Stripping Of The Chest Wall Lining

Oklahoma rates for HCPCS 32310

Open chest surgery that strips away the smooth membrane lining the inside of the chest wall. With that layer gone the lung sticks to the chest wall as it heals, so air or fluid can no longer collect in the space between them. It is done for a lung that keeps collapsing or a space that keeps refilling with fluid.
