Closure Of A Tear-Duct Fistula

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 68770

Surgery to close an abnormal opening that lets tears leak out through the skin near the inner corner of the eye instead of draining down the tear duct into the nose. The surgeon removes or seals the tract and closes the tissue so tears drain the normal way again.
