It is a minimally invasive approch to remove the distal part of the ileum (small intestine) and proximal part of the cecum (large intestine) all done by inserting ports and a camera (laparoscopic)
using an instrument such as a scope to guide the removal of part of or all of the ileum.
Partial removal of the ileum
is there a cpt code for ileocecectomy?
44160
That was the question I had before my laproscopic hysterectomy a few day ago.My doctor told me yes you can still have laproscopic suregery. If you do happen to be on your menstrual cycle be sure to wear a pad NOT a tampon during your surgery.
If I'm not mistaken the code should be 47570
The appendix will be removed surgically by laproscopic or open surgery.
Depends on whether laproscopic or abdominal. Laproscopic usually has a quicker healing time as the incisions are smaller. Other factors are diet,fitness and weight. The average time is 4-6 weeks but is very individual.
Bilateral = BSO. Laproscopic = LBSO. Risk reducing RRSO.
The amount of time that they take varies from case to case. My mom's took nearly 4 hours but, she had a cyst on both ovaries. It also depends on which method they use to preform the Hysterectomy.
Laproscopic means small incisions are made into the abdomen for instruments to be passed through, as well as for drains. Nephrectomy is removal of the kidney.

My doctor prescribed it for me after gall bladder removal surgery (laproscopic). It probably depends on your doctor and the surgery performed.
Yes its called laproscopic but you will be asked to sign a consent form stating that the operation can be transferred to abdominal if there are complications which are unusual.
