Pancreatic Cyst Drained Into Intestine

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 48540

Drains a fluid-filled sac on the pancreas by connecting it directly to the intestine, so the fluid empties internally instead of through a tube in the skin. A loop of small intestine is rerouted and stitched to the sac, creating a lasting drainage path. It is used for a large or persistent pancreatic fluid collection.
