Indiana rates for HCPCS 53420

The first operation in a two-part reconstruction of the urethra, the channel carrying urine out of the body, used when a narrowing or defect is too long or too scarred to correct in a single sitting. This stage opens the channel and lays out the tissue that will form it, which is then left to settle and heal before the reconstruction is completed later.
