Unilateral inguinal hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, recurrent. K40.91 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM K40.91 became effective on October 1, 2019.
A groin incision is made and the indirect hernia sac is identified and dissected free. The hernia sac was then ligated. The posterior wall was repaired with Marlex mesh. In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index main term entry is Repair, subterms Hernia NEC, Inguinal (unilateral), Indirect, Other and Open, with Prosthesis or Graft.
The index entry main term is Herniorrhaphy, subterm With Synthetic Substitute, which provides two directional notes—see Supplement, Anatomical Regions, General (0WU) and see Supplement Anatomical Regions, Lower Extremities (0YU). The inguinal region body part is classified in Table 0YU for Anatomical Regions, Lower Extremities.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K40.91 - other international versions of ICD-10 K40.91 may differ. Hernia with both gangrene and obstruction is classified to hernia with gangrene.

For inguinal hernia repair (CPT code 49505), the surgeon may use an ilioinguinal or iliohypogastric nerve block (CPT 64425). In this case, the nerve block is not reported separately and is included in the surgical procedure.
Overview. A herniorrhaphy refers to the surgical repair of a hernia, in which a surgeon repairs the weakness in your abdominal wall. A hernia occurs when a weak area in the muscles of your abdominal wall allows an internal part of your body to push through.
Open approach is cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. If procedures are performed using the open approach with percutaneous endoscopic assistance or hand-assisted laparoscopy they are coded as open.

1. Size of hernia. Large inguinal hernias recur twice as often as small ones because of overstretching with attenuation and destruction of tissues normally used for repair of the hernia.
groinThe inguinal ligament is a set of two narrow bands in the inguinal area of the body (the groin). The groin is the fold where the bottom of the abdomen meets the inner thighs. The inguinal ligament connects the oblique muscles in the abdomen to the pelvis.
ICD-10 code: K57. 92 Diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation, abscess or bleeding.
The procedure code 0YU60JZ is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the anatomical regions, lower extremities body system, classified under the supplement operation. The applicable bodypart is inguinal region, left.
0YU60JZ is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of supplement left inguinal region with synthetic substitute, open approach. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. These 2021 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021.

The ICD-10-PCS procedure code for this scenario is 0YU60JZ. The fourth character (6) identifies the body part as left inguinal region. The sixth character (J) specifies the device as a synthetic substance.
The patient presents with a left inguinal hernia in need of herniorrhaphy. A groin incision is made and the indirect hernia sac is identified and dissected free. The hernia sac was then ligated. The posterior wall was repaired with Marlex mesh.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index main term entry is Insertion; subterms Valve (s), Bronchus, Single Lobe which identifies code 33.71, Endoscopic insertion or replacement of bronchial valve (s), single lobe. This code may be used for either the initial insertion or the replacement of an endobronchial valve. Code 33.71 does not distinguish the specific lobe of the lung that is involved in the procedure.
This directs users to code 53.04, Other and open repair of indirect inguinal hernia with graft or prosthesis. This code indicates the procedure was unilateral but does not specify the laterality further.
The index entry main term is Herniorrhaphy, subterm With Synthetic Substitute, which provides two directional notes—see Supplement, Anatomical Regions, General (0WU) and see Supplement Anatomical Regions, Lower Extremities (0YU). The inguinal region body part is classified in Table 0YU for Anatomical Regions, Lower Extremities. Refer to Coding Guideline B2.1a for further detail, included in the sidebar on page 70.
In this article, the Journal of AHIMA continues the 10-part Coding Notes series focusing on the 31 root operations of ICD-10-PCS. This article will describe three of the root operations in the Medical and Surgical Section that always involve a device:
The definition for the Insertion root operation provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is “Putting in a non-biological device that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.” The body part value represents the site that the device was placed. The device value represents the type of device that was inserted, such as cardiac lead, intraluminal device, or hearing device.
