Opening The Small Bowel To Relieve Swelling

Maine rates for HCPCS 44021

Opens the small intestine through an incision in the abdomen to let out gas and fluid that have built up behind a blockage, and a long tube may be threaded along the bowel to keep it emptied. Emptying the swollen bowel makes it safe to handle and takes the pressure off its wall. No length of bowel is removed.
