Reconstruction of the Female Urethra

California rates for HCPCS 53430

Rebuilds a woman's urethra when it has been narrowed, damaged, or destroyed by injury, childbirth, radiation, earlier surgery, or a long-term catheter. The surgeon reconstructs the channel using nearby tissue or a graft so that urine can pass freely and be held in properly. It is a reconstructive operation rather than a simple stretching of a narrow segment.
