The Abbe-Estlander flap is a surgical technique used for cleft lip reconstruction. It involves creating a bilobed flap from the adjacent tissue on one side of the lip, which is then rotated and transposed to cover the cleft. The flap is designed to maintain blood supply while allowing for aesthetic alignment of the lip. Specific coding for this procedure may vary based on the surgical details and the coding system used (such as CPT or ICD-10), so it's best to consult the latest coding guidelines or a medical coding professional for accurate coding.
