For which procedure would code 60650 be used?

Code 60650 is actually used for laparoscopic adrenalectomy, which involves the surgical removal of one or both adrenal glands using a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach. This coding is specific to the adrenal gland procedure, reflecting the nature of the surgery and the anatomical region where it is performed.

In this context, the other procedures listed are defined by different codes and involve distinct surgical techniques and anatomical considerations. For example, cystourethroscopy focuses on visualizing the bladder and urethra via a cystoscope, craniotomy involves opening the skull to access the brain, and ureteral stent placement pertains to inserting a stent in the ureter to facilitate urine flow. Each of these has its own specific coding to reflect the unique aspects of the respective procedures, which is why laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the correct association for code 60650.
