CPT code 10080 is used for a simple incision and drainage with local wound care to facilitate healing. And CPT code 10081 for a complicated incision and drainage which includes placement of a drain or packing with gauze. For percutaneous aspiration of abscess, hematoma, bulla or cyst, procedure code 10160 is used.
For incision and drainage of a complex wound infection, use CPT 10180. You can remove the sutures/ staples from the wound or make an additional incision to work through. The wound is drained and any necrotic tissue is excised. The wound can be packed open for continuous drainage or closed with a latex drain.

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.
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.
Surgeons will often place a piece of prosthetic mesh to help strengthen the area of the abdominal wall being repaired and provide additional support to the damaged tissue. Hernia mesh is used in 90 percent of hernia surgeries and, when used and placed correctly, reduces the risk of recurrence.
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.
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.
