Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove hemorrhoids, swollen veins in the anus and rectum. It is typically considered when non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief from symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and itching. The CPT code for hemorrhoidectomy is a unique identifier used by healthcare providers and insurance companies for billing and reimbursement purposes. The specific CPT code assigned depends on the technique used during the procedure, such as open, closed, or stapled hemorrhoidectomy.
