Open-Cavity Ear Surgery With Bone Rebuilding

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 69646

Combines repair of the eardrum with a thorough clearance of the mastoid bone in which the wall of the ear canal is taken down so the area becomes one open cavity, and rebuilds the chain of small hearing bones in the same operation. It is used for extensive middle-ear disease where everything diseased has to be exposed to be removed. Rebuilding the hearing bones aims to restore a sound pathway to the inner ear.
