Z596 – Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for bile duct calculi
OHIP Digestive System Surgical Procedures Code — DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for bile duct calculi is a surgical procedure for managing stones in the biliary system. This technique involves using high-energy shock waves generated outside the body, which are then focused on the bile duct calculi to fragment them into smaller pieces. These smaller fragments are then able to pass through the duct system more easily. This service is eligible for payment to the surgeon (suffix A) and the anaesthesiologist (suffix C), with the anaesthesia component having 6 base units.
