Untwisting a Blocked Bowel Through Surgery

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 44050

Opens the abdomen to relieve a bowel that has become blocked by twisting on itself, telescoping into itself, or slipping through an internal gap. The surgeon frees and untwists the bowel by hand and then checks that its blood supply recovers. It is done urgently, because a trapped loop can lose its blood supply and die.
