Urethral Widening With Drug Delivery

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 0499T

A scope is passed along the urethra so the narrowed segment can be seen, the narrowing is stretched open mechanically, and medication is delivered directly into the wall of the treated segment to discourage it from scarring closed again. X-ray guidance may be used during the procedure. No external incision is made.
