Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient presents with severe flank pain and fever after percutaneous placement of an adrenal drainage catheter for a postoperative adrenal abscess. Imaging shows persistent infection and failure of the percutaneous drain, and the interventional team decides to remove the existing drainage device under an open surgical approach with debridement. An open removal of the drainage device from the adrenal gland is performed during the inpatient admission to control sepsis and allow definitive management. Typical codes: 0GP500Z
A 45-year-old patient is admitted electively for removal of a temporarily placed percutaneous adrenal drainage catheter that was placed weeks earlier for a resolving adrenal hematoma. The patient is clinically stable, imaging demonstrates resolution of the collection, and the drainage device is removed using the same percutaneous access under fluoroscopic guidance on the inpatient service prior to discharge. Typical codes: 0GP530Z
A 38-year-old patient presents to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain and signs of hemorrhagic shock after sudden displacement of an externally exiting adrenal drainage device placed for prior adrenal cyst drainage. Because the external device cannot be safely resecured at bedside, the patient is taken to the operating room emergently for removal of the external drainage device from the adrenal gland and control of bleeding. Typical codes: 0GP5X0Z
