Appendix Removal For A Burst Appendix

Illinois rates for HCPCS 44960

Removes an appendix that has already burst, through an incision in the abdomen, and washes out the pus and infection that has spread into the abdominal cavity. A drain may be left in place. It is a bigger undertaking than removing an intact appendix because the infection has escaped into the abdomen.
