Facial Nerve Repair Behind The Ear

Idaho rates for HCPCS 69740

The facial nerve is repaired where it runs through the bone behind the ear, with the cut or torn ends stitched back together. A short length of nerve may be grafted in to bridge a gap, and the bony canal around the nerve may be opened to give it room. It is done for a nerve divided by injury, surgery, or a growth, to restore movement to a weakened face.
