Removal Of A Spinal Tumor Inside The Covering

Alaska rates for HCPCS 63283

Spine surgery in which part of the bony arch of the vertebrae is removed so the surgeon can open the tough covering around the spinal cord and its nerve roots and take out a tumor lying inside that covering but alongside rather than within the cord itself. Removing the tumor relieves pressure on the nerves. The covering is then closed watertight so spinal fluid cannot leak.
