Chest Lining Removal Using A Camera

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 32656

Removes the lining from the inside of the chest wall through a few small incisions between the ribs, using a camera and long instruments. Stripping this lining makes the lung stick to the chest wall so that air or fluid cannot build up in that space again. It is commonly done for a lung that keeps collapsing or a space that keeps refilling with fluid.
