Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery
HCPCS 49505
Repair initial inguinal hernia, age 5 years or older; reducible
AI EXPLANATION: Inguinal hernia repair is a surgical procedure to fix a hernia in the groin. This condition happens when internal tissue, such as part of the intestine, pushes through a tear or weak spot in the lower abdominal wall muscles. During the operation, the surgeon gently guides the protruding tissue back into place and reinforces the abdominal wall, frequently using supportive surgical mesh or stitches to strengthen the area and help keep the hernia from returning.
