Brain Shunt Revision or Replacement Surgery
HCPCS 62230
Replacement or revision of cerebrospinal fluid shunt, obstructed valve, or distal catheter in shunt system
AI EXPLANATION: A brain shunt is a medical device implanted to divert excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to another part of the body, relieving pressure inside the skull. Over time, parts of the shunt system can become blocked, disconnected, or worn out. Brain shunt revision or replacement surgery involves a neurosurgeon repairing, clearing, or replacing faulty components—such as an obstructed valve or catheter tube—or replacing the entire shunt to restore normal fluid drainage.
