Can a general surgeon perform a laparoscopic diastasis recti repair?

March 13, 2023
Asked By:customframes in Miami, Florida

I have a diastasis and several hernias, which my plastic surgeon won't repair, and he doesn't do lap/endo surgeries. I do have a little excess skin. I really want to avoid the hip to hip scar. Can I have my general surgeon do my DR repair with my hernias laparoscopically, and then have my PS get rid of the excess skin with a mini TT, or does it have to be a PS who does the DR repair?
