Muscle repair and hernia repair both added charges with DIEP flap surgery?

May 30, 2019
Asked By:JBis

Would abdominal muscle repair and hernia repair during DIEP flap surgery be avoided because of time constraints on an already lengthy surgery? Would there be added charges for each repair? Just curious. Every surgeon may do it differently. Thx!
