Laparoscopic Surgery for Undescended Testicle

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 54692

This minimally invasive, camera-guided surgery repositions a testicle that has not descended into the scrotum and is instead located higher up in the abdomen. Working through small incisions, the surgeon frees the testicle and moves it down into its normal position, then secures it there. Because the approach uses a camera and small tools, recovery is generally easier than with a larger open incision.
