Keyhole Removal of Part of a Kidney

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 50543

Removes a tumor or diseased portion of a kidney while leaving the rest of the kidney in place, working through small abdominal incisions with a camera and long instruments. Sparing healthy kidney tissue helps protect long-term kidney function. Blood flow to the kidney is usually paused briefly while the piece is removed and the kidney is repaired.
