Lengthening the Food Pipe in Keyhole Surgery

Vermont rates for HCPCS 43283

Creates extra length of food pipe by shaping a narrow tube from the top of the stomach, so the junction between food pipe and stomach can sit below the diaphragm without being pulled tight. It is performed through small abdominal incisions as part of a larger operation on the food pipe or the diaphragm opening. It is billed in addition to the main procedure.
