Open Drainage Of A Kidney Abscess

Colorado rates for HCPCS 50020

An incision is made to reach a walled-off pocket of pus in the kidney or in the fatty tissue around it, so the pus can be drained and the cavity washed out. A drain is usually left in place for a time while antibiotics finish clearing the infection.
