About 50780: Single ureter bladder reimplantation
Surgical reimplantation of a single ureter into the bladder, reported when the ureter needs a new bladder connection without additional reconstructive techniques.
50780 represents surgical reimplantation of one ureter into the bladder, creating a new ureterovesical connection. Urologists perform it when an abnormal or damaged distal ureter needs a reconstructed bladder insertion, including selected cases of vesicoureteral reflux, distal obstruction, or ureteral injury. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting.
Choose this code when the documented work supports direct reattachment rather than the additional ureteral tailoring or bladder advancement techniques represented by related codes. Record the side, indication, operative anatomy, and reconstructive steps. The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For procedures performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
