First Prostate Implant Placed Through A Scope

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 52441

Places a small permanent implant that pulls enlarged prostate tissue aside so it no longer presses on the urinary channel, working through a scope passed along the urethra. Nothing is cut away and no heat is used, so the risk to sexual function is lower than with operations that remove tissue. This covers the first implant placed.
