CPT® lists only three codes for laparoscopic hernia repair, including two codes for inguinal hernia repair (49650, any initial repair and 49561, all recurrent repairs) and a single unlisted-procedure code, 49659, to cover laparoscopic repairs of all other hernia types, regardless of patient age or initial/recurrent,
The soft tissues get bulged out of the abdomen and then these tissues are removed again and again. The CPT code used for recurrent inguinal hernia repair is 49561.
• S2900 (Surgical techniques requiring use of robotic surgical system) is a Level II code that was issued by a private insurer in 2005. S2900 is not a code that is processed by Medicare. Note that other Level II codes are not shown in this document. *This guide is provided for educational purposes, and is not a comprehensive list of procedures. As the AMA publishes CPT codes on

Q79. 0 - Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. ICD-10-CM.
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.
ICD-10 code: K44. 9 Diaphragmatic hernia without obstruction or gangrene.
Diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect where there is a hole in the diaphragm (the large muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen). Organs in the abdomen (such as intestines, stomach, and liver) can move through the hole in the diaphragm and upwards into a baby's chest.
Introduction. Morgagni hernia is rare clinical entity accounting for 3% of all surgically treated diaphragmatic hernias. Similarly, paraesophageal hernia constitutes only 5% of all hiatal hernia. The co-existing of these two hernias is extremely rare with only 10 cases reported in the literature.
Morgagni hernia defects usually occur on the right hand side (91%). In 5% of cases the defect is on the left hand side of the sternocostal hiatus and the remaining 4% are bilateral. Although the defect is congenital in origin, presentation is rare in children.

In a hiatal hernia (also called hiatus or diaphragmatic hernia), a portion of the stomach penetrates (herniates) through a weakness or tear in the hiatus of the diaphragm, the small opening that allows the esophagus to pass from the neck and chest to its connection with the stomach.

The 2 most common types of diaphragmatic hernia are:Bochdalek hernia. This involves the side and back of the diaphragm. The stomach, liver, spleen, or intestines move up into your child's chest cavity.Morgagni hernia. This involves the front part of the diaphragm.
Alternative Names. Expand Section. Hernia - diaphragmatic; Congenital hernia of the diaphragm (CDH)
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 hiatal hernia in which the stomach herniation is located alongside the esophagus and the esophagogastric junction is in its normal position below the diaphragm. Protrusion of abdominal structures into the thorax as a result of congenital or traumatic defects in the respiratory diaphragm.
K44 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM K44 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K44 - other international versions of ICD-10 K44 may differ. Type 1 Excludes.
