Repeat Open Surgery To Remove A Kidney Stone

Alaska rates for HCPCS 50065

Opens the kidney to take out a stone in someone who has already had surgery on that kidney before. The earlier operation leaves scar tissue that the surgeon has to work through, which makes reaching the stone considerably more involved than a first-time procedure. It is done under general anesthesia through an incision in the flank, with a hospital stay afterward.
