Keyhole Ostomy Closure With Bowel Rejoining

Florida rates for HCPCS 44227

Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to close an ostomy, the surgically created opening that brings the bowel out to the skin. Working through several small abdominal incisions, the surgeon frees the bowel, removes the segment that was brought out, and joins the healthy ends back together so waste passes the normal way again.
