Wiki Hartman II

[nyyankees]

I have a surgery titled "Hartman II". I do not have the op yet but wanted to see if anyone had heard of this type of procedure. Thanks.

I have been coding general surgery for over 25 years and have never heard of a Hartmann II procedure. That does not mean there could not be one, and when you find out what it is I would be very interested to know what the procedure is.

Hmmm

Unless they were describing how the procedure was done, I've seen colectomys with this type of description.
Hope this helps!

I am familiar with a Hartmann's procedure, but not a Hartmann's II procedure...

Thank you...I had not heard of as well.
