Complicated Open Surgery On The Kidney Pelvis

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 50135

An operation that opens the funnel-shaped collecting chamber where urine leaves the kidney, reached through an incision in the side or back. This version covers the more difficult situations — a kidney that has already been operated on, or one that is abnormally formed from birth — where scarring or unusual anatomy makes the surgery considerably harder.
