Removal Of A Growth Inside The Neck Spinal Cord

Vermont rates for HCPCS 63270

Spine surgery in which part of the bony arch of the neck vertebrae is removed so the surgeon can open the tough covering around the spinal cord and take out a noncancerous lesion lying inside it, such as a cyst or a collection of fluid. Removing it relieves pressure on the cord and the nerves leaving it. The covering is then closed watertight so spinal fluid cannot leak.
