Cutting The Tight Muscle At The Top Of The Gullet

Maine rates for HCPCS 43030

Divides the cricopharyngeus, the ring of muscle at the top of the esophagus that normally relaxes to let food pass. When it stays tight, swallowing feels blocked at the throat and food or liquid can come back up or go down the wrong way. Through an incision in the side of the neck the surgeon cuts the muscle so the passage opens freely.
