Bile Duct Exploration With Stone Removal

Arizona rates for HCPCS 47425

This is surgery to explore the common bile duct, the tube that carries bile from the liver to the small intestine, to remove stones and enlarge or reshape its opening into the intestine so bile can drain more easily. It is done when the duct is blocked or narrowed, most often by gallstones. The surgeon reshapes the duct opening to help prevent future blockages.
