Component separation involves separating and creating musculofascial advancement flaps to facilitate closure of large midline hernia defects.

What is hernia repair?

Hernia repair includes isolation and dissection of the hernia sac, reduction of intraperitoneal contents, fascial repair, and soft tissue closure. In 1993, the ACS submitted a code change proposal to the American Medical Association CPT Editorial Panel to revise hernia coding in 1994 based on several variables, including the following:

Is diastasis recti a hernia?

Aetna considers repair of a diastasis recti, defined as a thinning out of the anterior abdominal wall fascia, not medically necessary because, according to the clinical literature, it does not represent a "true" hernia and is of no clinical significance.

Is abdominoplasty cosmetic?

However, abdominoplasty is considered by Aetna to be cosmetic because it is not associated with functional improvements. Danilla et al (2013) examined if suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) decreases the incidence of early cardiovascular disease risk factors or its biochemical and clinical risk indicators.

Is liposuction a surgical procedure?

Since the introduction of tumescent technique, liposuction has been used as a surgical therapeutic option. Rey and colleagues (2018) stated that lipedema is a progressive disease; the signs are limited to the lower limbs. Early signs are non-specific.
