BACKGROUND: Despite various resources on the subject, there remain questions regarding billing and coding hernia surgery. Recently, social media has been used to disseminate information in about surgery. The purpose of this project is to evaluate posts relating to coding through one online social media platform.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The International Hernia Collaboration Facebook site was queried with terms relating to coding. Inclusion criteria were post discussing coding on the site. Posts relating to coding were reviewed by at least 2 reviewers. Number of comments, main topic of question, and additional information about codes were recorded and descriptive statistics generated.
RESULTS: There were 100 posts found using the search term coding of which 85 met inclusion criteria. Post ranged from 5/2014 to 6/2021. Posts were from 72 surgeons with an average of 12 responses per post. Posts most commonly related to ventral and incisional hernia (53) followed by inguinal (18), other (19), diaphragm (4), and inguinal/ventral (1). For the ventral/incisional hernia, the most common posts were related to myofascial release techniques (29) followed by mesh (6), botox (5), hernia prevention (3), other (3), robotic surgery (2), open surgery (2), rectus diastasis (2), and laparoscopy (2).
DISCUSSION: There remains controversies over coding for hernia repair particularly myofascial releases in ventral and incisional and new techniques using the robot. An online social media platform appears to be a viable way to disseminate coding information and generate discussion. Further study is needed to evaluate the role of social media for coding.
