Top-Of-Lung Tumor Removal With Chest Wall Repair

California rates for HCPCS 32504

Removes a tumor at the very apex of the lung along with the part of the chest wall it has invaded, and then rebuilds the chest wall where the ribs and tissue were taken away. Reconstruction restores the shape and stability of the chest so breathing mechanics are preserved. Mesh or other supporting material is used to bridge the gap left by the removal.
