Using the Abdominal Fat Apron as a Patch

Vermont rates for HCPCS 49905

Moves the omentum - the fatty apron of tissue that hangs over the intestines - and lays it over a repair or a raw area inside the abdomen while keeping its own blood supply attached. The well-supplied tissue brings blood flow to the area, helps seal it, and helps fight infection. It is billed in addition to the main procedure.
