Inguinal hernia
Definition
Inguinal hernia is the disease with abnormal passage of an internal abdominal organ or structure through the inguinal canal. The spectrum of the disease is very broad, manifesting incidental findings to symptomatic hernias showing groin pain to surgical emergencies like incarceration or strangulation of hernia sac contents. The disease can be classified by the location of herniation as indirect inguinal hernia and direct inguinal hernia. Indirect hernias occur through the internal inguinal ring and common in children and young adults, but direct hernias occur through defects in the abdominal wall in Hesselbach's triangle and are common in adults.
Coding note
Use additional codes, if desired, to identify complications such as obstruction or gangrene.
