Stent Placed in the Lower Bowel Through a Scope

Washington rates for HCPCS 45347

A flexible scope is passed through the anus into the lower large bowel, and an expandable mesh tube called a stent is placed across a narrowed or blocked segment. The stent pushes the passage open so stool can pass. It is used to relieve a blockage without an operation, sometimes as a temporary measure before surgery.
