Opening The Bladder To Place A Ureter Tube

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 51045

The bladder is reached through an incision in the lower abdomen and opened so a fine tube or stent can be passed up into the ureter, the tube that drains urine from the kidney. The stent holds the ureter open so urine flows freely from kidney to bladder. A catheter usually drains the bladder while the incision heals.
