Drainage of Abscess Within the Rectal Wall

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 45005

This procedure opens and drains a pocket of infected fluid, called an abscess, that has formed within the wall of the rectum itself, just beneath its inner lining, rather than in the surrounding tissue. Draining the abscess relieves pressure and pain and allows the infection to begin healing. It is a common treatment for this type of infection when it has formed a distinct pocket rather than spreading diffusely through the tissue.
