California rates for HCPCS 56637

Surgery for vulvar cancer that removes the whole vulva together with the deeper tissue beneath it, and also takes out the lymph nodes in the groin. Removing the nodes shows whether the cancer has spread and reduces the chance of it returning there. It is major surgery, often followed by reconstruction and sometimes by radiation.
