Widening the Female Urethra Under Anesthesia

Maryland rates for HCPCS 53665

Stretches a narrowed urinary channel in a woman by passing graduated dilators through it, carried out with general anesthesia or a spinal block so she feels nothing. Anesthesia is chosen when the narrowing is tight, the area is very tender, or an office attempt would be too uncomfortable. The narrowing weakens the urine stream and can make the bladder hard to empty.
