Unspecified abdominal hernia without obstruction or gangrene
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.
A reducible hernia is a hernia with a bulge that flattens out when you lie down or push against it gently. This type of hernia is not an immediate danger to your health, although it may be painful and worsen over time if left untreated.
ICD-10-CM Code for Bilateral inguinal hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, recurrent K40. 21.
A Bilateral Inguinal Hernia is the presence of two inguinal hernias on both sides of the pubic bone. A Bilateral Hernia is caused much the same way as an Inguinal Hernia when there is a weakness in the abdomen muscles. This weakness can develop because of poor fetal development or stress in the abdomen.
3 Unilateral or unspecified inguinal hernia, with obstruction, without gangrene.
For inguinal hernia repair (CPT code 49505), the surgeon may use an ilioinguinal or iliohypogastric nerve block (CPT 64425).
Inguinodynia is pain or discomfort lasting greater than 3 months after surgery. Randomized trials of laparoscopic vs open inguinal hernia repair have demonstrated similar recurrence rates with the use of mesh and have identified that chronic groin pain surpasses recurrence and is an important measure of success.
If the lump can be gently pushed back through the abdominal wall, it is known as a reducible hernia. If the lump resists manual pressure, it is a non-reducible hernia, which can mean serious complications. Both forms of hernia require surgical repair.
Indirect inguinal hernias are the most common type of groin hernia. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal content such as fat or bowel pushes down along the inguinal canal. What is the inguinal canal? It is the tunnel through which a man's vas deferens and testicular vessels travel down into the scrotum.
A direct inguinal hernia shows a bulge from the posterior wall of the inguinal canal, whereas an indirect inguinal hernia passes through the inguinal canal or the groin. In the indirect inguinal canal, it is difficult to feel the defect as it occurs behind the external oblique muscle fibers.
An inguinal hernia is a bulging of the contents of the abdomen through a weak area in the lower abdominal wall. Inguinal hernias can occur at either of two passages through the lower abdominal wall, one on each side of the groin. These passages are called inguinal canals.
