Food Pipe Removal Without Rebuilding

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 43124

Removal of all or most of the food pipe without building a new route for food during the same operation. The upper end of the remaining food pipe is brought out through an opening in the side of the neck so that saliva can drain into a small bag. Nutrition is given another way until a later operation reconnects the digestive tract, if one is possible.
