Morning all, Please can I ask with assistance. The doctor wrote Cystoscopy urethral (railroading) dilatation in the perioperative information. My challenge is around 'railroading' from what I understand this is is "an older classical method of treating complete rupture of membranous urethra. Complete rupture of membranous urethra causes floating of prostate and disruption of urethral continuity.
This technique rail road a catheter across the gap and drawing the prostate down on to the triangular ligament." How will one code this?
52281 Cystourethroscopy, with calibration and/or dilation of urethral stricture or stenosis, with or without meatotomy, with or without injection procedure for cystography, male or female
