Open Freezing Treatment of Kidney Growths

California rates for HCPCS 50250

Open surgery in which one or more growths in the kidney are destroyed by freezing rather than being cut out. The surgeon exposes the kidney through an incision and applies a freezing probe directly to each growth, using ultrasound during the operation to guide and check the treatment. The rest of the kidney is left in place.
