Stretching A Narrowed Urethra Under Anesthesia

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 53605

Widens a narrowed section of the urethra, the tube carrying urine out of the body, by passing smooth dilators of increasing size through it. Because the narrowing is too tight or too painful to stretch otherwise, it is done under general or spinal anesthesia rather than with local numbing.
