Removal Of Infected Skull Bone

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 61501

Removes a section of skull bone that has become infected, cutting back until healthy bone is reached. The scalp is opened over the affected area so the diseased bone can be taken out and the infection cleared. The gap left in the skull is often left to heal at first and rebuilt at a later operation.
