Facial Nerve Release Through The Skull Bone

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 69725

Surgery that opens the bony canal running through the bone behind the ear to take the pressure off the facial nerve, which controls the muscles of one side of the face. Bone is removed along the nerve's course, including the deeper portion beyond the bend where it changes direction. It is done when swelling or injury inside the canal is squeezing the nerve and causing facial weakness.
