Wiki Initial left inguinal hernia

[msridevi1978]

An incision was made at the groin and a herniasac was readily identified and cleared from the surrounding tissue and inverted into the preperitoneal space and plugged.Mesh was tacked to the surrounding muscle layers,and then placed over the entire floor.
The correct cpt code?

I am a student, but this is what I believe:


Preterm infant (younger than 37 weeks gestation), performed from birth up to 50 weeks; 49491

full term infant, younger than 6mo; 49495

6 mo to younger than 5; 49500

Over the age of 5; 49505



Mesh is not separately reported with these codes.

Thanks ,for answering.And highlighting you should not use mesh codes.
