Widening of a Narrowed Urethra Using a Scope

Indiana rates for HCPCS 52281

This procedure uses a scope passed through the urethra to measure and gently widen a section of the urethra that has become narrowed by scar tissue, sometimes along with a small incision at the urinary opening to enlarge it. It is used to relieve difficulty urinating caused by this kind of narrowing.
