Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy
HCPCS 55550
Laparoscopy, surgical; with ligation of spermatic veins for varicocele
AI EXPLANATION: A laparoscopic varicocelectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat a varicocele, which is a collection of enlarged, swollen veins inside the scrotum. During the surgery, a physician creates small incisions in the lower abdomen to insert a tiny camera and specialized surgical instruments. The doctor identifies the affected veins connected to the testicle and ties them off, redirecting normal blood flow into healthy surrounding vessels.
