Connecting A Pancreatic Cyst To The Digestive Tract

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 48520

This surgery treats a fluid-filled cyst on the pancreas by creating a direct surgical connection between the cyst and a nearby part of the digestive tract, allowing the fluid to drain internally into the gut instead of needing external drainage. It is used for cysts that need ongoing drainage but are suitable for a more straightforward connection, rather than a more complex reconstruction. This approach avoids the need for an external drainage tube.
