Hi Folks,
I've seen on here questions for the conversion from nephroureterostomy to nephrostomy, but what about the other way around? How would you code a conversion of a nephrostomy to a nephroureterostomy? I thought maybe code the removal of the nephrostomy (50389), and then code for the nephroureterostomy (50393/74480)?
Thanks for your opinions!
