Cystourethroscopy, with ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy; with removal or manipulation of calculus (ureteral catheterization is included)
AI EXPLANATION: Ureteroscopy with stone removal is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the urinary tract and treat stones. A physician guides a thin, lighted scope with a camera through the urethra and bladder into the ureter or kidney. Once the stone is visualized, small instruments are passed through the scope to capture, manipulate, or extract the stone, helping relieve blockages and improve urinary drainage.
