Kidney-to-Bladder Drainage Tube Placement

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 50433

A tube is passed through the skin of the back into the collecting system of the kidney and threaded down the ureter into the bladder, so urine can drain past a blockage. X-ray dye and live imaging are used to map the drainage path and guide the tube into position. It is used when a stone, a growth or scarring stops urine leaving the kidney normally.
