Diagnostic Keyhole Look Inside the Abdomen

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 49320

A camera is passed through a small cut, usually near the navel, so the surgeon can look directly at the organs, the lining of the abdomen and the fatty apron over the intestines. Fluid or cells may be collected by washing or brushing during the look. It is used to find the cause of pain, unexplained fluid or an unclear scan finding, without removing tissue.
