Keyhole Surgery to Free Bowel Adhesions

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 44180

Uses a camera and thin instruments passed through small cuts in the abdomen to divide scar bands that have stuck loops of intestine to each other or to the abdominal wall. These bands often form after earlier surgery or infection and can cause pain or block the bowel. Because the incisions are small, the recovery is usually quicker than with open surgery.
