Partial Bladder Removal With Ureter Reattachment

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 51565

Removes the diseased portion of the bladder while leaving the rest in place, and reattaches one or both ureters — the tubes bringing urine down from the kidneys — into the remaining bladder wall. The reattachment is needed when the part being removed includes the spot where a ureter used to enter. It is major surgery done under general anesthesia, with a hospital stay and a urinary catheter afterward.
