Total Colon And Rectum Removal With Pouch, Minimal Access

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 44211

This is a minimally invasive surgery that removes the entire colon and rectum, then reconstructs the digestive tract by connecting the small intestine directly to the anus, often forming a pouch to help store stool. A temporary loop of small intestine is typically brought out to the skin as an opening for a period of time, allowing the new internal connection to heal before it is reversed. It is used for conditions such as ulcerative colitis or certain inherited polyp conditions when the entire colon and rectum need to be removed.
