Modified Radical Neck Lymph Node Removal

California rates for HCPCS 38724

Removes the lymph nodes from one side of the neck when cancer has spread to them or is likely to. Unlike the most extensive version of the operation, this one deliberately preserves major structures in the neck such as a large nerve, a muscle, and a major vein, which helps protect shoulder movement and appearance afterwards.
