Unspecified abdominal hernia without obstruction or gangrene
Hernia ( K40-K46) Unspecified abdominal hernia ( K46) K46.0 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified abdominal hernia with obstruction, without gangrene. The code K46.0 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

A hernia happens when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in your muscle or tissue. There are several types of hernia that you can experience including, inguinal hernias, femoral hernias, umbilical hernias and hiatal hernias.
The most common types of hernia are inguinal (inner groin), incisional (resulting from an incision), femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach). In an inguinal hernia, the intestine or the bladder protrudes through the abdominal wall or into the inguinal canal in the groin.
Hernias can be classified according to their anatomical location: Examples include: Abdominal hernias. Diaphragmatic hernias and hiatal hernias (for example, paraesophageal hernia of the stomach). Pelvic hernias, for example, obturator hernia.
A Ventral Hernia is a hernia anywhere on the abdominal wall, and although this may include the inguinal area, usually only best refers to hernias which are above the inguinal area, and usually in the midline of the abdomen.
An inguinal hernia is a bulge that occurs in your groin region, the area between the lower part of your abdomen and your thigh. Inguinal hernias occur because of a weakening of the muscles in the lower abdomen.
A ventral (abdominal) hernia refers to any protrusion of intestine or other tissue through a weakness or gap in the abdominal wall. Umbilical and incisional hernias are specific types of ventral hernias.
In most cases, your doctor will be able to determine whether you are in fact suffering from a hernia simply by looking and by gently palpating the affected area. If for some reason a diagnosis isn't immediately apparent, your doctor may decide to order an imaging test, such as an abdominal ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI.
An umbilical hernia occurs when part of your intestine bulges through the opening in your abdominal muscles near your bellybutton (navel). Umbilical hernias are common and typically harmless.
An incomplete hernia is confined to the inguinal canal, whereas a complete hernia comes out of the inguinal canal through the external or superficial ring into the scrotum. Direct hernias are always incomplete, whereas indirect hernias can also be complete.
Groin hernias are categorized into 2 main categories: inguinal and femoral. Inguinal hernias are further subdivided into direct and indirect. An indirect hernia occurs when abdominal contents protrude through the internal inguinal ring and into the inguinal canal. This occurs lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels.
Inguinal hernias can be classified as “direct” or “indirect”. An indirect inguinal hernia occurs through the natural weakness in the internal inguinal ring. A direct inguinal hernia is a result of weakness in the floor of the inguinal canal and is more likely to develop in older men over the age of 40.
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.
Hernia with both gangrene and obstruction is classified to hernia with gangrene. 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.
