What is a ventral hernia? A ventral hernia is a bulge of tissues through an opening of weakness within your abdominal wall muscles. It can occur at any location on your abdominal wall. Many are called incisional hernias because they form at the healed site of past surgical incisions.
A recurrent incisional hernia occurs following a surgical procedure in the abdomen, which can cause a weakening in your abdominal wall. This can especially occur when the original repair was potentially done under tension and/or without a synthetic material to buttress the surgery.

A femoral hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall of the groin or inner thigh. Common causes include obesity and overstraining while coughing, exercising, or passing stool. Femoral hernias are uncommon, accounting for only 3% of all hernias and roughly 6% of all groin hernias.

Tip: Since the laparoscopic repair of a sliding hernia is managed the same as a direct or indirect inguinal hernia, use that CPT code (49650 | 49651). Technique: • Repair similar to inguinal hernia – can be done open or laparoscopically. Strangulated femoral hernia may require bowel resection - best done open.
