Kidney Endoscopy with Biopsy and Treatment

In this procedure, the provider inserts an endoscope through an incision in the skin over the kidney or the renal pelvis to analyze the kidney and ureter and may take a tissue sample of the kidney for biopsy. The provider may perform this procedure with irrigation or instillation of saline to better view the structures. The provider may also perform a ureteropyelography, or a radiological examination of the ureter and renal pelvis by injecting contrast. The provider also destroys any abnormal renal tissue through electric current or by incising the tissue. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
