Lifting the Bladder Neck for Urine Leakage

New Hampshire rates for HCPCS 51840

Through an incision in the lower abdomen, stitches are placed that lift and anchor the bladder neck and the top of the urethra to firm tissue behind the pubic bone. Restoring that support stops urine escaping when a person coughs, laughs, or lifts something heavy. This is the straightforward version of the repair rather than a redo of an earlier one.
