Adjustable Balloon Procedure for Urine Leakage

Delaware rates for HCPCS 53453

A procedure involving small adjustable balloons that sit alongside the urethra, the tube carrying urine out of the body, where they gently support it so urine does not leak. The balloons are reached through the skin between the legs rather than through open surgery, and each one connects to a small port under the skin so the amount of fluid inside can be changed later. It is used for ongoing loss of bladder control that has not responded to simpler measures.
