Complete Bladder Removal

Iowa rates for HCPCS 51570

Open operation to remove the whole bladder. Because urine can no longer be stored, a new route out of the body has to be built for it, and that reconstruction is handled as a separate part of the operation. Removing pelvic lymph nodes is not part of this version.
