Lung Peel Removal With Chest Lining Removal

Vermont rates for HCPCS 32320

Strips the thick fibrous rind that has formed over the surface of a trapped lung and also removes the lining from the inside of the chest wall. Freeing the lung from that peel lets it expand fully again. It is done through an open incision between the ribs, usually after long-standing infection or bleeding inside the chest.
