Surgery To Bring Down An Undescended Testicle

Michigan rates for HCPCS 54640

Brings a testicle that has not reached the scrotum down into position and stitches it there so it stays. Working through a small incision in the groin or the scrotum, the surgeon frees the testicle and its cord so they reach far enough, then secures the testicle in a pocket in the scrotum. It is usually done in early childhood.
