Back-Table Preparation Of A Donor Pancreas

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 48551

Preparation of a donated pancreas after it has been removed from the donor and before it is transplanted. Working at a side table in the operating room, the surgeon trims away the surrounding tissue, separates off the spleen, ties off the bile duct and the vessels that will not be used, and builds the artery connections the new pancreas will need in the recipient.
