HCPCS 67108

Repair of retinal detachment; with vitrectomy, any method, with or without air or gas tamponade, focal endolaser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, drainage of subretinal fluid, scleral buckling, and/or removal of lens by same technique

AI EXPLANATION: Retinal detachment repair surgery is an eye procedure used to reattach the retina—the delicate, light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye—when it separates from its normal position. During the operation, an eye surgeon removes the gel-like fluid inside the eye through a vitrectomy and may use laser treatment, freezing techniques, or an air or gas bubble to seal retinal tears and hold the retina securely in place.
