Targeted Brain Biopsy Through a Small Opening

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 61750

Reaches a target deep inside the brain through a small hole drilled in the skull, using a three-dimensional guidance system to steer an instrument along a precise path. Once at the target the surgeon takes a tissue sample, drains a fluid or blood collection, or removes a small abnormal area. It avoids the large opening an open operation would need.
