Opening Of A Seminal Vesicle, Complex

Maryland rates for HCPCS 55605

Surgically opens a seminal vesicle — one of the paired glands behind the bladder that add fluid to semen — to drain infected fluid, clear a blockage or stone, or take tissue for testing. This is the more involved version, used when scarring, previous surgery or extensive infection makes the gland harder to reach and work on. It calls for a wider exposure and longer operating time.
