Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing for Kidney Stone Surgery
Facing kidney stone surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re concerned about costs, insurance, or recovery. At the Surgery Center of Oklahoma, we provide all-inclusive, bundled pricing for outpatient cystoscopy with ureteroscopy and stent placement. This procedure relieves pain, blockage, or infection risk from kidney stones that can’t pass on their own.
Our upfront pricing covers your surgeon, the facility, anesthesia, and uncomplicated routine follow-up care. The consult fee ($250) is separate, and certain items such as diagnostics, overnight stays, or treatment of complications are not included. You’ll never be surprised by hidden or unexpected medical bills.

What Are These Procedures?
Cystoscopy with ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive outpatient surgery to treat kidney stones that are too large or painful to pass naturally.
Cystoscopy & Ureteroscopy
A small scope is inserted through the bladder and into the ureter to locate and remove stones, often with laser lithotripsy.
Combined approach
Many patients have their stone treated and a stent placed in the same procedure, requiring only one operation and one recovery period.
Ureteral Stent
A soft, flexible tube may be placed temporarily to keep urine flowing and support healing.
Who Is It For?
Adults & Teens
Patients experiencing pain, blood in the urine, or infection risk due to kidney stones.
Patients Who Wish to Pay Up Front
Transparent cash pricing applies to all patients who pay in full before surgery; self-insured employers may arrange direct contracts.
Those Experiencing Blockages/Pain
If the stone is too large or causing obstruction, this procedure is often recommended.
Benefits & Outcomes
