Laparoscopic Varicocele Vein Ligation

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 55550

This is a minimally invasive surgery to tie off enlarged, twisted veins in the scrotum, a condition called a varicocele, using small incisions and a camera-guided instrument inserted into the abdomen. It's typically done to relieve pain, swelling, or fertility concerns caused by the abnormal veins. Because it's performed laparoscopically, recovery is usually quicker than with an open surgical approach.
