Removal Of A Tumor Inside The Spinal Canal

Maryland rates for HCPCS 63285

Removes or samples a tumor growing inside the spinal canal, within the protective covering that surrounds the spinal cord. Part of the bony arch at the back of the spine is taken away to reach it, and the covering is opened so the growth can be dealt with directly. It is delicate surgery, because the spinal cord and nerve roots lie immediately alongside the tumor.
