Decompressive Skull Surgery For Brain Swelling

Vermont rates for HCPCS 61322

Removes a large piece of skull bone, and where needed opens and enlarges the tough covering over the brain, to relieve dangerously high pressure inside the head. Giving swollen brain tissue room to expand stops it being crushed against the rigid skull. No part of the brain itself is removed in this version of the operation.
