Internal Cutting of a Narrowed Urethra

Arizona rates for HCPCS 52275

A thin telescope is passed along the urethra into the bladder so the doctor can see inside, and a narrowed, scarred segment of the urethra is cut open from within to widen it. Everything is done through the natural opening, with no external incision. It relieves a slow stream, straining, or incomplete emptying caused by the narrowing.
