Steam Treatment for an Enlarged Prostate

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 53854

A treatment for an enlarged prostate that is squeezing the urine channel. A small instrument is passed along the urethra and releases short bursts of water vapour into the prostate; the treated tissue dies back over the following weeks so the channel opens and urine flows more freely. No incision is made.
