Can anyone offer any direction with this?
OP NOTE READS: This was Laparoscopic
There was an indirect inguinal hernia which was reduced and the peritoneum was separated from the spermatic cord structures which were all identified and preserved. This was then carried down to the level of the psoas muscle. There was a cord lipoma in the inguinal canal which was also removed.

Is the cord lipoma billable?
