Laparoscopic Repair Of A First-Time Groin Hernia

Maryland rates for HCPCS 49650

This surgery repairs a groin, or inguinal, hernia using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, in which the surgeon works through several small incisions with a camera and specialized instruments rather than one larger open incision. A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall muscle, and this procedure pushes it back into place and reinforces the area, often with a supportive mesh. It applies to a first occurrence of the hernia rather than a repeat repair of one that has recurred after previous surgery.
