Typical Clinical Scenarios

A critically ill patient with an infected mediastinal wound after esophagectomy develops poor chest wall perfusion and exposed vital structures; the surgical team performs an open omental transfer to the thoracic cavity to provide well-vascularized tissue coverage and help control infection. This is performed in an inpatient operative setting for reconstruction and infection control after major thoracic surgery. Typical codes: 0DXU0ZV
An elective case in a patient with recurrent complex abdominal wall hernias and poor local tissue quality after multiple prior repairs; the surgeon mobilizes and transfers a segment of omentum via a laparoscopic (percutaneous endoscopic) approach into the abdominal defect to reinforce the repair and promote healing. The patient is admitted for planned inpatient surgery due to comorbidities and anticipated need for postoperative monitoring. Typical codes: 0DXU4ZW
A patient presents postoperatively with pelvic sepsis and a fistula following pelvic radiation and colorectal surgery; during an open reoperation, the omentum is transferred into the pelvic cavity to fill the defect, separate inflamed tissues, and support resolution of the infection. This is performed as an urgent inpatient transfer to manage the complication and assist healing. Typical codes: 0DXU0ZX, 0DXU4ZX
