Facial Nerve Repair Deep Beneath the Jaw Joint

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 64865

Repairs the facial nerve along the deep part of its course, in the space beneath and behind the jaw joint, by freeing the damaged ends and stitching them together, using a piece of nerve taken from elsewhere to bridge the gap if needed. It is done after injury, or when the nerve has been cut during removal of a growth. Restoring continuity gives the nerve fibers a path to grow back along.
