Widening A Narrowed Male Urethra With A Flexible Guide

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 53620

This procedure widens a narrowed section of the male urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body, using a thin, flexible guide called a filiform, followed by a series of progressively larger dilators threaded over it. It is generally used for a tighter or more difficult narrowing that a simple rigid dilator cannot pass through easily. This is the first session of this particular treatment approach.
