Removal of a Urachal Cyst or Channel

Iowa rates for HCPCS 51500

Surgery to remove a leftover channel or cyst running between the top of the bladder and the navel, a structure that normally seals shut before birth. It is taken out when it becomes infected, drains fluid at the belly button, or causes pain. A hernia at the navel can be repaired during the same operation if one is present.
