Keyhole Surgery To Create A Colostomy

Maine rates for HCPCS 44188

Creates an opening from the large bowel to the surface of the abdomen so stool can pass into a pouch worn on the skin. The surgeon works through several small cuts using a camera and long instruments rather than one large incision. It is done when the bowel below needs to be rested, bypassed, or protected while it heals.
