Good morning,

I have a patient that has been taken back to the OR for re-opening of ex-lap
with placement of a Wittmann patch and wound vac change for open abdominal wound.

I am not sure how to code the patch??

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Laura:)
 
Wittmann patch is usually used for hernia repairs. I would look at 49560-49565 as possible codes.
