Usually not serious: Hi james, since the hernia is small and contains only fat (from within the abdomen), it is unlikely that it will lead to incarceration or strangulation of intestines, which is the worst complication of hernias. The belly button is still in the same spot.
You could have a direct inguinal hernia if you:
Overview Inguinal hernia What is a hernia? A hernia is a common condition that occurs when part of an internal organ or tissue bulges through a muscle. Hernias can occur around the belly button, through a surgical scar, in the diaphragm, or in the groin (the area between the abdomen and the thigh on both sides of the body).

The adipose tissue is a central metabolic organ in the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis. The white adipose tissue functions as a key energy reservoir for other organs, whereas the brown adipose tissue accumulates lipids for cold-induced adaptive thermogenesis.
Localized adiposity (AL) is the accumulation of subcutaneous adipose tissue, placed in definite anatomic areas, building up an alteration of the body silhouette.
The latin term adiposity means severe or morbid overweight. In English usually the term obesity is being used. An increasing overweight is associated with a growing risk for diseases, which are associated with obesity. A rough measure for obesity is the body-mass-index (BMI).
Basics of soft tissue masses. Soft tissue tumors are cell growths that emerge nearly anywhere in the body: in tendons, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, nerves, blood vessels, fat, and other tissues. Patients commonly refer to these masses as lumps or bumps.

Refers to muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels, or other supporting tissue of the body.
An abdominal hernia with an external bulge in the groin region. It can be classified by the location of herniation. Indirect inguinal hernias occur through the internal inguinal ring. Direct inguinal hernias occur through defects in the abdominal wall (transversalis fascia) in hesselbach's triangle. The former type is commonly seen in children and ...
Inguinal hernia. K40 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.

Hernia codes (K40–K46) include acquired hernias, congenital hernias (except diaphragmatic or hiatus), and recurrent hernia.#N#Inguinal hernia K40-K40.91: This subcategory includes codes for direct inguinal, double inguinal, indirect, oblique inguinal, and scrotal hernias. To assign a code, you must know the location and laterality of the hernia, whether it’s with or without obstruction, whether it’s recurrent, and if there is gangrene present.#N#Femoral hernia K41.0-K41.91: This subcategory includes codes for paraumbilical hernias. To assign a code, you must know if the hernia is bilateral or unilateral, with or without obstruction, whether it’s recurrent, and if there is gangrene present.#N#Umbilical hernia K42-K42.9: To assign a code from this subcategory, you must know the hernia has an obstruction and/or gangrene present. An excludes 1 note with this category indicates that if an omphalocele (Q79.2 Exomphalos) is present, do not report these two codes together.#N#Ventral hernia K43.0-K43.9: To assign a code from this subcategory, know if the hernia is classified as an incisional hernia or a parastomal hernia, and if there is an obstruction and/or gangrene present.#N#Diaphragmatic hernia K44.0-K44.9: To assign a code from this subcategory, know if there is an obstruction and/or gangrene present. This code category includes hiatal hernia and esophageal or sliding hernia. There is an excludes 1 note that indicates not to report a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (Q79.0 Congenital diaphragmatic hernia) or a congenital hiatus hernia (Q40.1 Congenital hiatus hernia) at the same time as a code from this subcategory.#N#Other abdominal hernia K45-K45.8: This subcategory includes abdominal hernia, specified site, not elsewhere classified; lumbar hernia; obturator hernia; pudendal hernia; retroperitoneal hernia; and sciatic hernias. To assign a code, you must know if there is an obstruction and/or gangrene present.#N#Unspecified abdominal hernia K46-K46.9: Use a unspecified code only if documentation is imprecise and there is no way to query the reporting provider for more detail.
Hernia is a general term to describe a bulge or protrusion of an organ through the structure or muscle that usually contains it. Hernias can occur throughout the body (for instance, a herniated intervertebral disk), ...
Common hernia types include:#N#Inguinal: In this common form of hernia (75 percent of all hernias are of the inguinal variety), the intestine bulges through a weak area in the inguinal canal in the groin area. Inguinal her nias may be either direct (congenital) or indirect (acquired).#N#Femoral: These hernias occur in the area between the abdomen and the thigh, usually appearing as a bulge on the upper thigh.#N#Umbilical: The fascia of the navel is thinner than in the rest of the abdomen. An umbilical hernia occurs when contents protrude from the navel.#N#Ventral/Incisional: A defect in the abdominal wall at the site of a previous operative incision.#N#Diaphragmatic: A defect in the diaphragm (congenital or acquired) allows contents from the abdominal cavity to spill into the chest cavity.#N#Each of the above categories may include specific subcategories (e.g., femoral hernias include paraumbilical hernias). Additional hernia types include lumbar hernia, obturator hernia, pudendal hernia, and others.#N#2. Laterality#N#The concept of laterality only applies to inguinal and femoral hernias. For these hernia types, provider documentation must specify whether the hernia is bilateral or unilateral.#N#3. Complicated By#N#Complications of hernia include possible obstruction (documentation stating incarcerated, irreducible, or strangulated implies this) and the presence of gangrene.#N#If the provider can manually push the contents of the hernia sac (e.g., the intestine, in the case of an inguinal hernia) back through the fascial defect, the hernia is reducible. In some cases, the contents of the hernia sac become trapped in the opening caused by the fascial defect. Such incarcerated or strangulated hernias cannot be reduced and pose potential life-threatening danger.#N#A note at the beginning of the Hernia section in ICD-10-CM instructs that if a hernia has both obstruction and gangrene to classify it as having gangrene.#N#4. Temporal Parameters#N#Temporal parameters include status of recurrent and not specified as recurrent (e.g., Is this the first hernia at this location?).
The femoral hernia was repaired by suturing the iliopubic tract to Cooper’s ligament. K41.90 Unilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, not specified as recurrent. The femoral canal is the path through which the femoral artery, vein, and nerve leave the abdominal cavity to enter the thigh.
Common symptoms of hernia vary, depending on the type. For asymptomatic hernia, the patient may have swelling or fullness at the hernia site. Although there’s little pain or tenderness, the patient may have an aching sensation that radiates into the area of the hernia.
Femoral: These hernias occur in the area between the abdomen and the thigh, usually appearing as a bul ge on the upper thigh. Umbilical: The fascia of the navel is thinner than in the rest of the abdomen.
An umbilical hernia occurs when contents protrude from the navel. Ventral/Incisional: A defect in the abdominal wall at the site of a previous operative incision. Diaphragmatic: A defect in the diaphragm (congenital or acquired) allows contents from the abdominal cavity to spill into the chest cavity.
It is caused by defects in the abdominal wall. Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
Hernia with both gangrene and obstruction is classified to hernia with gangrene. Hernia. Clinical Information. A groin hernia occurring inferior to the inguinal ligament and medial to the femoral vein and femoral artery. The femoral hernia sac has a small neck but may enlarge considerably when it enters the subcutaneous tissue of the thigh.
