Scope Exam of an Intestinal Pouch With Biopsy

Alabama rates for HCPCS 44386

A thin flexible scope is passed into a pouch built from small intestine, which acts as a reservoir for people whose colon has been removed, and small tissue samples are taken from its lining. The doctor looks for inflammation, ulcers or narrowing that could explain urgency, bleeding or a rise in output. The samples let the laboratory confirm what is causing the trouble.
