CPT® Code 0084T

Deleted

The procedure described by CPT® Code 0084T involves the insertion of a temporary prostatic urethral stent. This stent is specifically designed to facilitate the process of voiding in patients who are experiencing difficulties due to an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The stent is inserted through a catheter, which is a thin, flexible tube that allows for the placement of the stent directly into the prostatic urethra. By providing a supportive structure within the urethra, the stent helps to alleviate urinary obstruction, thereby improving the flow of urine and enhancing the patient's ability to void comfortably. This procedure is typically performed in a clinical setting and is considered a minimally invasive option for managing urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement.
