Repair of a Groin Hernia That Has Come Back

Alaska rates for HCPCS 49520

Open repair of a groin hernia that has returned after an earlier repair, where the bulge can still be pushed back in. The surgeon works through scar tissue from the first operation to find and close the weak spot, usually reinforcing it with mesh. Repeat repairs take longer and demand more care around nearby nerves and blood supply than a first-time repair.
