*This code represents an abdominal hernia that's not either an '''[[Inguinal hernia]]''' or a '''[[Hiatus (diaphragmatic) hernia]]''' -- i.e. it's the wastebasket code for the TYPE of abdominal hernia, and thus includes:  femoral hernia, umbilical hernia, and ventral hernia
Excludes:  
**Here the "NOS" is referring to the TYPE of abdominal hernia, i.e. it's not inguinal or hiatus.
* [[Hiatus (diaphragmatic) hernia]]
*If in addition, the hernia is complicated, then ALSO use one of the following:
* [[Inguinal hernia]]
**[[Abdominal hernia, with gangrene]]
**[[Abdominal hernia, with obstruction, incarceration or strangulation]]
*'''Excludes''':
**'''[[Inguinal hernia]]'''
**'''[[Hiatus (diaphragmatic) hernia]]'''

* This and the related dxs all have the same includes ( I took out inuguinal because we have [[Inguinal hernia]]); does that make sense? Ttenbergen 20:20, 2018 August 6 (CDT)
 
* Does "NOS" in this case just mean it was not clear whther obstructed, gangrenous or neither? Or is it to be used only for neither? Or is it supposed to be used for "neither" at all? Ttenbergen 20:20, 2018 August 6 (CDT)
*AG REPLY --- Not exactly Tina.  The intent is as follows
**First identify the type of hernia (i.e. location) from among: [[Hiatus (diaphragmatic) hernia]], [[Inguinal hernia]], and [[Abdominal hernia, NOS]] where this latter is just the wastebasket for the TYPE of hernia, i.e. that NOS refers to the type
**THEN for ANY of these types (inguinal, hiatus, or abdominal NOS, identify the presence of a complication using one of [[Abdominal hernia, with gangrene]] or [[Abdominal hernia, with obstruction, incarceration or strangulation]]
**Thus, if there's an incarcerated abd hernia that's not inguinal or diaphragmatic, you'd combine: [[Abdominal hernia, NOS]] with  [[Abdominal hernia, with obstruction, incarceration or strangulation]]
*Tina, also note I've made changes to all of those other abd hernia codes (including inguinal and diaphragmatic) to explain all this better. and that it'd be good if the 2 codes for complications K46.0 and K46.1, were adjusted so that they can't be used alone -- i.e. need to be used WITH any one of the 3 type of "Abd Hernia Type" codes as above.}}

We have the following ICD10 codes for different types of abdominal Hernias:

and their potential complications:

A complication should be coded whenever it happens, but complication codes should only ever be coded as combined ICD10 codes with a hernia type.
