Op note reads:
Vertical incision was performed. Dissection was carried down to hernia defect, which was then noted to be approx 1cm in diameter. Just above this was a second hernia defect. There was bridge of normal tissue, approx 1cm in length, between these 2 hernia defects for a total margin of just under 2cm. Both hernia sacs excised. The fascial edges were delineated nicely. A small Ventralex mesh was secured and wound closed with 3-0 Vicryl running suture, followed by 4-0 Monocryl subcuticular closure, and Indermil for the skin.
49560 once or twice?
thanks for any help!
