Cutting The Lower Food Pipe Muscle Through A Scope

Vermont rates for HCPCS 43497

Treats a food pipe that will not relax at its lower end by working entirely through a scope passed in through the mouth. The surgeon tunnels within the wall of the food pipe and divides the tight muscle ring from the inside, so swallowed food can pass into the stomach. No incisions are made on the outside of the body.
