Removal of Part of the Parotid Gland

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 42415

Removal of the outer portion of the parotid salivary gland, which sits in front of and below the ear, usually because a lump has grown in it. The facial nerve, which drives the muscles of the face, runs through the gland, so the surgeon traces and preserves its branches while taking the tissue out. Removing gland tissue around the lump gives a clear margin and lets the laboratory examine it.
