Needle Test Of The Anal Or Urethral Sphincter Muscle

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 51785

This test evaluates the muscle that controls the anal or urethral opening by inserting a very fine needle electrode directly into the muscle to record its electrical activity. It helps assess how well the sphincter muscle is functioning, which can be useful in diagnosing certain bladder or bowel control problems. This is a muscle-based electrical study rather than a test of how signals travel along a nerve.
