Hernia Repair (Inguinal)

An inguinal hernia repair closes a gap in the lower abdominal wall through which fat or a loop of bowel has pushed into the groin. This code covers the open repair — one incision over the hernia, the contents pushed back, and the weak spot reinforced, usually with mesh. It is nearly always a same-day operation.
