Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
HCPCS 49650
Laparoscopy, surgical; repair initial inguinal hernia
AI EXPLANATION: A laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is a minimally invasive outpatient surgery to treat a hernia in the groin. Through a few small incisions in the lower abdomen, a surgeon inserts a thin tube equipped with a camera along with specialized surgical tools. The protruding tissue or intestine is gently returned to its proper position inside the abdominal cavity, and the weakened muscle wall is reinforced, typically with a synthetic mesh patch, to prevent recurrence.
