Prostate Removal Through a Perineal Incision

Vermont rates for HCPCS 55801

Surgery to remove prostate tissue through an incision in the skin between the scrotum and the anus, rather than through the lower abdomen. The surgeon reaches the gland directly from below, and a tube is placed to drain urine while the area heals. It is one of several ways the prostate can be reached; other operations approach it through the abdomen or with keyhole instruments.
