Anal Sphincter Repair Using Transferred Muscle

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 46760

Rebuilds the ring of muscle that controls bowel movements in an adult with fecal incontinence by bringing in muscle moved from elsewhere in the body, most often taken from the thigh. It is a larger reconstruction than stitching the existing muscle back together and is used when too little working sphincter remains. Which muscle is used is decided by the surgeon for the individual case.
