Repair Of A Spinal Fluid Leak At The Skull Base

Maine rates for HCPCS 61618

Seals a leak of cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid that surrounds the brain, where the lining has failed at the base of the skull after earlier skull base surgery. The defect is patched with tissue such as fascia or fat, or with a graft material, so fluid stops escaping into the nose or sinuses.
