Open Removal of Enlarged Prostate Tissue

Vermont rates for HCPCS 55831

Open operation through a lower abdominal incision to remove the overgrown inner part of the prostate that is blocking the flow of urine. The outer shell of the gland is left behind, so this relieves obstruction rather than treating cancer. It is generally chosen when the gland is too large to clear through a scope passed along the urethra.
