Keyhole Clearing Of Material From The Chest Cavity

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 32653

Removes an object, or thick stringy fibrous deposits, from the space between the lung and the chest wall, working through small chest incisions with a camera. Such deposits build up when infection or bleeding in the chest organizes into sticky material that walls fluid off into pockets. Clearing the space drains the trapped fluid and lets the lung expand.
