Open Repair of Returned, Trapped Groin Hernia

Vermont rates for HCPCS 49521

Repairs through an open incision a groin hernia that has come back after a previous repair and is stuck, meaning the bulging tissue cannot be pushed back in or its blood supply is being cut off. The surgeon frees the trapped tissue, checks that it is healthy, removes any that is not, and closes the weak spot, often with mesh. Scarring from the earlier operation makes this more demanding than a first-time repair.
