Closure Of Ureter-To-Skin Fistula

Iowa rates for HCPCS 50920

Surgery that closes an abnormal tunnel running from the ureter, the tube carrying urine from the kidney to the bladder, out to the skin surface, where urine has been leaking through the body wall. The surgeon removes the unhealthy tract and sews the tube closed so urine drains the normal way. Such a tunnel usually follows earlier surgery, injury, or radiation treatment.
