Free Jejunum Transfer With Microsurgery

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 43496

Reconstructive surgery that moves a short segment of small intestine, together with its own artery and vein, to rebuild a length of the digestive passage that has been removed. Using a microscope, the surgeon stitches the segment's tiny blood vessels to vessels at the new site so it stays alive. It is most often used to rebuild the throat or food pipe after cancer surgery.
