Kidney Stone Removal Through The Back

Georgia rates for HCPCS 50080

Removes a stone from the kidney or the funnel where it drains, working through a narrow channel made in the skin of the back. A scope is passed down the channel, and the stone is broken up and lifted out; a drainage tube or stent may be left afterwards. This version covers a straightforward stone; larger, branching, or scattered stones need a more involved operation.
