Has anyone ever coded for a Repair of an Internal Hernia. Dr said he did an Open Reduction of Internal Hernia.
" At this point once the diagnosis of Internal Hernia and Volvulus had been made, the scope was withdrawn and small midline Laparotomy was made in the mid abdomen. This was dissected down and the bowel was delivered from the abdomen. The hernia was reduced and the piece of band taken down. The bowel was returned to the abdominal cavity". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
