Steroid Injection Into A Narrowed Urethra

Kansas rates for HCPCS 52283

A telescope is passed along the urethra so that steroid medicine can be injected directly into a scarred, narrowed section of the passage. The steroid softens the scar tissue and slows it re-forming, which helps a narrowing stay open after it has been treated.
