Open Removal Of A Bladder Stone

Oregon rates for HCPCS 51050

The bladder is reached through an incision in the lower abdomen and opened so a stone can be lifted out whole. It is used for stones too large or too hard to break up and wash out through a scope. The bladder and abdominal wall are then closed, and a catheter drains urine while they heal.
