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.
A diaphragmatic hernia occurs when one or more of your abdominal organs move upward into your chest through a defect (opening) in the diaphragm. This kind of defect can be present at birth or acquired later in life. It's always a medical emergency and requires prompt surgery to correct.

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.

There is a separate, specific code — 49525 Repair inguinal hernia, sliding, any age — for the repair of a reducible, sliding inguinal hernia. If the hernia is incarcerated or strangulated, however, 49525 does not apply. Instead, you would revert to 49496, 49501, 49507, or 49521, as appropriate. 8.
Since there is no separate code for implanted mesh removal, use unlisted procedure code 49999 Unlisted procedure, abdomen, peritoneum and omentum to report the service.
If mesh implantation is performed with any other open hernia repair (inguinal, epigastric, umbilical, femoral), do not report +49568 because those codes include mesh placement. Mesh is also included as a part of laparoscopic repair. Do not report +49568 with laparoscopic repair codes 49652–49657.
Surgery is directed at permanently closing off the orifice through which the abdominal contents protrude, after returning them to the abdominal cavity. Usually, an incision is made over the hernia and the hernia sac is dissected from any surrounding structures.
This abnormal protrusion occurs due to a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue (fascia). In some cases, only an empty sac protrudes through, but if the defect is large enough, the hernia sac can contain abdominal contents, typically part of the intestine.
Inguinal: occurs when abdominal contents, such as fatty or intestinal tissue, bulge through a weak area in the inner groin muscle of the lower abdominal wall at the inguinal canal. This is the most common type of hernia, accounting for 75 percent of all hernias.
Depending on the size of the hernia sac, it may be ligated and resected. The muscle tissue is repaired, and the incision is closed. A mesh or other prosthesis may be used for reinforcement of the muscle wall. There are many types of hernias.
