Nerve Graft Repair Using Donor Nerve Tissue

Iowa rates for HCPCS 64891

When a nerve has been cut or damaged badly enough that its ends cannot simply be sewn back together, a surgeon can bridge the gap using a short segment of nerve tissue taken from elsewhere in the patient's own body. This graft acts as a scaffold that allows the injured nerve fibers to regrow across the gap over time. It is a reconstructive procedure used after significant nerve injuries, not a same-day fix, since nerve regrowth happens gradually.
