Laceration repair during delivery is inclusive unless extensive repair necessary, then append -22.
My question: Is extensive repair 3rd degree tear or higher? And 2nd degree or less inclusive?
How do you know where to break it? Doesn't 2nd degree require layered closure? Is that extensive because it's layered?
Thanks for any help.
