Drainage Of An Extensive Lymph Node Infection

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 38305

This service surgically drains an infected or abscessed lymph node, addressing a more extensive infection than a straightforward drainage procedure would involve. The surgeon opens the area, removes the pus and infected material, and allows the site to heal or be closed as appropriate. It is used when swelling and infection have spread beyond a single, well-contained pocket.
