The most common forms of hernia are:
Unspecified abdominal hernia without obstruction or gangrene
ICD-10 code: K44. 9 Diaphragmatic hernia without obstruction or gangrene.
There are four types of hiatal hernias. The vast majority of hiatal hernias are called type I, or sliding hiatal hernias. In this type, the stomach intermittently slides up into the chest through a small opening in the diaphragm. Type II, III and IV hiatal hernias are called paraesophageal hernias.

Q79. 0 - Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. ICD-10-CM.
A hiatal hernia is when your stomach bulges up into your chest through an opening in your diaphragm, the muscle that separates the two areas. The opening is called the hiatus, so this condition is also called a hiatus hernia.
Type II hiatal hernias occur when the fundus of the stomach herniates through the esophageal hiatus. The GEJ remains normally positioned below the diaphragm.
In ICD-10-CM, epigastric hernias are coded to K43. 6, K43.

Morgagni hernias are rare congenital diaphragmatic defects that can lead to bowel obstruction and incarceration if not repaired. Surgery can be performed through either an open incision or minimally invasive techniques through the chest or the abdomen.
A paraesophageal hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach protrudes up through an opening in the diaphragm (called the hiatus) into the chest. Although many people with this type of hernia don't notice symptoms, others may experience heartburn resulting from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Hiatal hernia. Paraesophageal hernia. Clinical Information. A congenital or acquired weakness or opening in the diaphragm which allows abdominal contents to protrude into the chest cavity; congenital diaphragmatic hernias are caused when the embryonic diaphragm fails to fuse.
Hernia with both gangrene and obstruction is classified to hernia with gangrene. A congenital or acquired weakness or opening in the diaphragm which allows abdominal contents to protrude into the chest cavity; congenital diaphragmatic hernias are caused when the embryonic diaphragm fails to fuse.
A protrusion of abdominal structures through the retaining abdominal wall. It involves two parts: an opening in the abdominal wall, and a hernia sac consisting of peritoneum and abdominal contents. Abdominal hernias include groin hernia (hernia, femoral; hernia, inguinal) and ventral hernia.
