Abdominal Surgery To Treat A Varicocele

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 55535

This surgery corrects a varicocele, an enlargement of veins around a testicle similar to varicose veins, by reaching the affected veins through an incision in the lower abdomen rather than the scrotum. The surgeon ties off or removes the enlarged veins to relieve pain, swelling, or fertility problems the condition can cause. This approach is chosen when reaching the veins higher up, closer to where they originate, is preferred.
