Repair Of A Tear In The Diaphragm

Illinois rates for HCPCS 39501

Stitches closed a tear in the diaphragm, the sheet of muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen and drives breathing. Tears usually follow a severe injury such as a car crash, a fall from height, or a stab wound. Repairing the tear stops abdominal organs from pushing up into the chest and crowding the lung.
