Sher Capital Region Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Group, LLP, Medical Director, Capital Region Sleep Wake Disorders Center of St. Peter's Hospital, Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery, Division of Head and Neck Surgery, Albany Medical College, Albany, NY, USA KEYWORDS Summary Upper airway surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome Sleep apnea syndromes, (OSAS) attempt to modify dysfunctional pharyngeal anatomy or by-pass the pharynx. surgery, pharynx, Modi®cations of the pharynx diminish the bulk of soft tissue structures which abut the airway, soft tissue, air column, place them under tension, others alter their spatial inter-relationships. skeletal, palate, tongue, Surgical procedures are designed to modify the retropalatal pharynx, the retrolingual maxillomandibular, pharynx, or both. There is no single surgical procedure, short of tracheostomy, which tracheostomy, consistently results in complete elimination of OSAS. However, appropriate application of current surgical techniques (synchronously or sequentially) may achieve uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, cure in most patients without resort to tracheostomy. Patient selection, versatility in polysomnography varied surgical approaches, and willingness to utilize more than one procedure when necessary appear to be critical attributes of a successful surgical program. On the other hand, analysis of the ef®cacy of individual surgical interventions is thwarted by the frequent practice of reporting on the application of multiple procedures in combination with evaluation of the composite effect. Well designed, multi-center studies would help clarify the strengths and weaknesses of different treatment approaches.

It does not constitute a contract or guarantee regarding coverage or reimbursement/payment. Self-Insured group specific policy will supersede this general policy when group supplementary plan document or individual plan decision directs otherwise. Paramount applies coding edits to all medical claims through coding logic software to evaluate the accuracy and adherence to accepted national standards. This medical policy is solely for guiding medical necessity and explaining correct procedure reporting used to assist in making coverage decisions and administering benefits. SCOPE X Professional _ Facility DESCRIPTION Sleep apnea is a disorder where breathing nearly or completely stops for periods of time during sleep. In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the brain sends the message to breathe, but there is a blockage to air flowing into the chest. It is a condition in which repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction occur during sleep. The obstruction may be localized to one or two areas, or may encompass the entire upper airway passages to include the nasal cavity (nose), oropharynx (palate, tonsils, tonsillar pillars) and hypopharynx (tongue base). The hallmark symptom of OSA is excessive daytime sleepiness, and the typical clinical sign of OSA is snoring, which can abruptly cease and be followed by gasping associated with a brief arousal from sleep. The snoring resumes when the patient falls back to sleep, and the cycle of snoring/apnea/arousal may be repeated as frequently as every minute throughout the night.

    32 Surgical Treatment of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders Donald M. Sesso Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, California, U.S.A. Nelson B. Powell and Robert W. Riley Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford University Medical Center and Department of Behavioral Sciences, Division of Sleep Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, U.S.A. INTRODUCTION Snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) are collectively referred to as sleep- related breathing disorders (SRBD). These terms describe a partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Patency of the pharyngeal airway is maintained by two opposing forces: negative intraluminal pressure and the activity of the upper airway musculature. Anatomical or central neural abnormalities can disrupt this delicate balance and result in compromise of the upper airway. This reduction of airway caliber may cause sleep fragmentation and subsequent behavioral derangements, such as excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) (1–3). The goal of medical and surgical therapy is to alleviate this obstruction and increase airway patency. The first therapeutic modality employed to treat SRBD was surgery. Kuhlo described placement of a tracheotomy tube in an attempt to bypass upper airway obstruction in Pickwickian patients (4). Although effective, tracheotomy does not address the specific sites of pharyngeal collapse and is not readily accepted by most patients. These sites include the nasal cavity/nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx. Often, multilevel obstruction is present. Consequently, the surgical armamentarium has evolved to create techniques that correct the specific anatomical sites of obstruction.

The patient is seen as an outpatient for a bilateral mammogram. CPT Code: 77055-50 Note that the description for code 77055 is for a unilateral (one side) mammogram. 77056 is the correct code for a bilateral mammogram. Use of modifier -50 for bilateral is not appropriate when CPT code descriptions differentiate between unilateral and bilateral. 2. Physician performs a closed manipulation of a medial malleolus fracture—left ankle. CPT Code: 27766-LT The code represents an open treatment of the fracture, but the physician performed a closed manipulation. Correct code: 27762-LT 3. Surgeon performs a cystourethroscopy with dilation of a urethral stricture. CPT Code: 52341 The documentation states that it was a urethral stricture, but the CPT code identifies treatment of ureteral stricture. Correct code: 52281 4. The operative report states that the physician performed Strabismus surgery, requiring resection of the medial rectus muscle. CPT Code: 67314 The CPT code selection is for resection of one vertical muscle, but the medial rectus muscle is horizontal. Correct code: 67311 5. The chiropractor documents that he performed osteopathic manipulation on the neck and back (lumbar/thoracic). CPT Code: 98925 Note in the paragraph before code 98925, the body regions are identified. The neck would be the cervical region; the thoracic and lumbar regions are identified separately. Therefore, three body regions are identified.

    Outcomes of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Adult Lung Transplant Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

    European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology (2019) 276:1341–1347 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00405-019-05308-9 RHINOLOGY Outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery in adult lung transplant patients with cystic fibrosis Paolo Luparello1 · Maria S. Lazio1 · Luca Voltolini2 · Beatrice Borchi3 · Giovanni Taccetti4 · Giandomenico Maggiore1 Received: 2 January 2019 / Accepted: 18 January 2019 / Published online: 28 January 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease in Caucasian population. Due to its patho- logical mechanism, chronic rhino sinusitis (CRS) associated or not with nasal polyposis usually occurs in adults and affects close to one-half of all CF patients. The goal of our work was to evaluate the impact of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) in the quality of life (QoL) of the CF patients and demonstrate an improvement of the functional outcomes in the patients underwent the surgical procedure rather than in the not treated ones, particulary in lung transplant patients. Methods We studied 54 adult patients affected by CF. Lund–Kennedy, Lund–Mackay scores, and SNOT-22 were analysed. 14 had lung transplant and 9 had both lung tranplant and ESS procedures. Results 22 (40.7%) out of 54 CF patients underwent ESS. This group presented more likely complaints consistent with CRS. Lund–Kennedy and Lund–Mackay scores appeared higher in the ESS group: 10 (range of 6–12) and 15 (range of 12–20), respectively.
