Stretching the Anal Muscle Under Anesthesia

Vermont rates for HCPCS 45905

Widens the ring of muscle around the anus while the patient is asleep or heavily sedated, rather than with local numbing only. It is used when the opening is too tight or in spasm, for example from scarring or a long-standing tear, making bowel movements painful or an examination impossible. The stretch is done gently, by hand or with a smooth dilator.
