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), but most commonly occur into or through a weakness in the abdominal wall.#N#An abdominal hernia occurs when the fascia develops a tear, and the peritoneal lining “spills out.” In some cases, only an empty sac protrudes through the fascia. If the fascial defect is large enough, however, the sac can contain abdominal contents (typically, intestines).
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.
The patient could experience nausea, vomiting, and symptoms of bowel obstruction, depending on the incarcerated tissue involved. Strangulated hernia is a hernia so tightly constricted that it compromises the blood supply of the hernia sac, leading to gangrene of the sac and its contents.
Strangulated hernia is a hernia so tightly constricted that it compromises the blood supply of the hernia sac, leading to gangrene of the sac and its contents. Common symptoms include systemic toxicity secondary to an ischemic bowel, and pain and tenderness of an incarcerated hernia that persists after reduction.
Common hernia types include: 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 hernias may be either direct (congenital) or indirect (acquired).
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.
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 ...
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 young adults; the latter in adults.
