Surgical Exploration Of A Kidney

Iowa rates for HCPCS 50010

An operation that opens the flank or abdomen so the surgeon can look directly at a kidney and the tissue around it. It is done to work out what is going on when scans and other tests have not given an answer, and it covers the exploration itself rather than any specific repair or removal. It is performed under general anesthesia with a hospital stay.
