Removal of a Lung Lobe Through Small Incisions

Florida rates for HCPCS 32663

Removes an entire lobe — one of the main sections of a lung — using a camera and long instruments passed through a few small cuts between the ribs, instead of opening the chest widely. It is most often done for a cancer or other growth confined to one lobe. Recovery is usually quicker than after a large chest incision.
