Lung Collapse Surgery With Filling Of The Space

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 32940

An operation that frees the outer lining of the lung from the inside of the chest wall so that the diseased part of the lung collapses and is put at rest. The space this creates is filled and packed as part of the same operation so the lung does not spring back out. It is done through an open chest incision under general anesthesia and needs a hospital stay.
