CPT® Code 19366

Deleted

The CPT® Code 19366 refers to a surgical procedure known as breast reconstruction using a technique that is not specified by other existing codes. This procedure is typically performed following a mastectomy or significant breast tissue loss due to trauma or disease. In this context, the physician employs a method that may involve the harvesting of muscle tissue from a donor site on the patient's body, which is then transferred to the area of the breast that requires reconstruction. This technique aims to restore the breast's shape and appearance, and in some cases, the use of a breast implant may be necessary to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. After the reconstruction is completed, the surgical site is meticulously closed to promote healing and minimize scarring. This procedure is essential for patients seeking to regain their physical form and confidence after breast surgery or injury.
