Removal of Colon and Rectum With Direct Join

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 44157

Removes the entire colon together with the rectum, then joins the end of the small intestine directly to the anus so stool can still pass the natural way. A temporary opening on the abdomen is usually created at the same time to divert stool while the new join heals.
