HCPCS 52648

Laser vaporization of prostate, including control of postoperative bleeding, complete (vasectomy, meatotomy, cystourethroscopy, urethral calibration and/or dilation, internal urethrotomy and transurethral resection of prostate are included if performed)

AI EXPLANATION: Laser prostate surgery is a procedure used to treat an enlarged prostate by removing tissue that blocks the flow of urine. A physician inserts a thin, lighted viewing scope through the urethra to reach the prostate, then delivers focused laser energy to heat and vaporize excess prostate tissue while controlling bleeding.
