Removal Of Cyst Beside The Kidney

Michigan rates for HCPCS 50290

Removes a fluid-filled sac lying in the tissue and fat that surround the kidney rather than within the kidney itself. Taking it out relieves pressure on the kidney and nearby structures and allows the fluid and sac wall to be examined. It is done when the sac causes pain, presses on the drainage system, or keeps refilling.
