Freeing A Ureter Trapped Behind A Vein

Maine rates for HCPCS 50725

Surgery to release a ureter — the tube draining urine from the kidney — that runs behind the body's main abdominal vein and is being pinched by it. The surgeon frees the tube, moves it to a normal position in front of the vein, and rejoins the divided ends so urine flows freely again. It is done through an open abdominal or flank incision under general anesthesia and requires a hospital stay.
