Patient had a laparoscopic left inguinal hernia repair with mesh 10 months ago. Since then he has suffered with extreme groin pain. After trying several treatments to alleviate the pain, a Laparoscopic Genitofemoral Neurectomy is scheduled to be performed.

I believe CPT code 64772 (Transection or avulsion of other spinal nerve, extradural) could be the code to use, but would this code be ok for a laparoscopic approach?

Any ideas or comments are welcomed.
