Wiki stent replacement thru urostomy

[hhowald]

For a stent removal/replacement thru a urostomy, would I use 50688? And 75984 for the radiological guidance? I also want to attach a 22 modifier because the stent was heavily calcified and difficult to remove.....I've never coded this before so any help will be appreciated!

Was the stent replaced retrograde? I would not use 50688 unless the patient has an ileal conduit.
