Telescope Surgery To Open A Blocked Kidney Outlet

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 50575

A telescope is passed into the kidney's collecting system through a small opening in the side, and the narrowed point where the kidney drains into the ureter is cut open to relieve the holdup. A stent is usually left across the area while it heals.
