Surgical procedures. Any routine surgical procedure costs including injury or death from any routine procedure.
Surgical procedures. Surgical procedures rendered by a Physician, including surgical assistant Services rendered by a Physician, Registered Nurse First Assistant (RNFA) or a Physician Assistant acting as a surgical assistant when such assistance is Medically Necessary, include the following:
Surgical procedures. Animals were anesthetized using a cock- tail of ketamine, xylazine and aceproma- zine as described above. Spinal cord dor- sal column transections at cervical level C3 and anterograde labeling of the CST were performed as previously described 27, 28. After a stereotactically guided transection of the dorsal CST with a tungsten wire knife (Xxxxx Xxxx Instruments, Tujuna, USA) at cervical level C3, a total volume of 3 µl cell suspension containing 4.8-5.4 x 105 cells (n=8 NPC-BrdU; n=8 NPC- GFP; n=4 NPC-GFP/BrdU) was inject- ed directly into the lesion site through a pulled glass micropipette (200µm internal diameter) using a Picospritzer II (General Valve, Fairfield, USA). Animals receiving spinal cord lesions without cell transplan- tation (n=6) served as controls. Superna- tant from the last washing step after BrdU incubation was injected into 2 animals (3µl per animal) to control for extracellular BrdU contamination in the cell suspen- sion, which would produce unspecific la- beling of proliferating host cells. For anterograde tracing of the CST pro- jections, 300 nl of a 10% solution of bioti- nylated dextran-amine (BDA; 10.000 MW, Molecular Probes, Leiden, Netherlands) was injected through pulled glass micro- pipettes (40 µm internal diameter) into each of 18 sites per hemisphere spanning the rostrocaudal extent of the rat forelimb and hindlimb sensorimotor cortex using a PicoSpritzer II 27 1 week post lesioning/ grafting.
Surgical procedures. Spinal cord lesions, cell transplantation and anterograde labeling of the CST were performed as previously described 14, 19, 20. Cells were grafted immediately post-injury to maximize the potential growth respons- es of corticospinal axons and to ensure that the injured tips of corticospinal axons are in close proximity to the graft site. Briefly, the dorsal columns containing the dorsal CST were transected at cervical level C3 using a tungsten wire knife (Xxxxx Xxxx Instruments Tujuna, USA) leaving the surrounding dura intact. A total volume of 3 µl of a cell suspension containing either 2.4 x 105 NPC (prelabeled with BrdU) com- bined with 0.6 x 105 fibroblasts (NPC-FF; n=8) or 1.2 x 105 fibroblasts only (FF; n=8) was injected directly into the lesion site through a pulled glass micropipette (100 µm internal diameter) using a Picospritzer II (General Valve, Fairfield, USA). Animals receiving spinal cord lesions without cell transplantation (LESION; n=6) served as controls. For anterograde tracing of the CST pro- jections, 300 nl of a 10% solution of bioti- nylated dextran-amine (BDA; 10.000 MW, Molecular Probes, Leiden, Netherlands) was injected through pulled glass micro- pipettes (40 µm internal diameter) into each of 18 sites per hemisphere spanning the rostrocaudal extent of the rat forelimb and hindlimb sensorimotor cortex using a PicoSpritzer II 19 1 week post lesioning/ grafting.
Surgical procedures. If the physician recommends a surgical procedure to diagnose or treat infertility we will contact insurance to determine benefits. We require pre-payment of any patient responsibility prior to the procedure. If surgery is to be done in a hospital setting there will be additional facility charges (anesthesia, equipment use, etc.) billed by the hospital, and may result in a balance due directly to the hospital. We are a private practice, and have no involvement in the hospital’s billing practices. Please contact them directly with any questions about facility charges.
Surgical procedures. For the first Reporting Period, orthopedic surgical procedures performed by a Mid Xxxxxx physician, including, but not limited to, open rotator cuff repairs, distal clavicle resections, chondroplasties, removal of loose or foreign bodies, and SLAP lesion repairs. For each of the second through fifth Reporting Periods, the category of procedures to be subject to the Surgical Procedures Quality Review shall be selected in accordance with the provisions of Section A.2 of Appendix B to the CIA. The Surgical Procedures subject to review under this Appendix C may, but need not, be the same category of procedures selected for the Claims Review.
Surgical procedures. If the physician recommends a surgical procedure to diagnose or treat infertility we will contact insurance to determine benefits. If the procedure is not covered, or if it will be subject to the deductible, we will require pre-payment of the full amount prior to the procedure, aside from whatever balance remains from the $1000 pre-payment. If surgery is to be done in a hospital setting there will be additional facility charges (anesthesia, equipment use, etc.) billed by the hospital, and may result in a balance due directly to the hospital. We are a private practice, and have no involvement in the hospital’s billing practices. Please contact them directly with any questions about facility charges.
Surgical procedures. A number of surgical interventions/ procedures are undertaken as part of this service. These include the following : • Oesophageal dilatation • Insertion of gastrostomy tube • Surgery to manage contractures e.g. of hands • Excision of skin cancers/amputation/regional lymph node dissection • Insertion of central venous access • Tracheostomy The surgical procedures not included are those which are unrelated to the underlying diagnosis, or that need to be carried out in the specialist centre due to issues surrounding handling, surgery or anaesthesia due to the underlying diagnosis of EB
