Removal of a Pancreatic Growth

Vermont rates for HCPCS 48120

This surgery removes a localized growth from the pancreas, such as a cyst or a benign tumor, while leaving the rest of the pancreas intact. The surgeon opens the abdomen, locates the growth, and excises it along with a margin of surrounding tissue when needed. It is used when a pancreatic growth needs to come out but does not require removing a larger section of the gland.
