Hello
1.Lap reduction and repair of periumbilical hernia 6 cm in size
2.lap reduction and repair of epigastric ventral hernia 7 cm in size with mesh

the 12 mm trocar was placed in the abdomen and another 5 in the left lower quadrant. examination revealed a periumbilical ventral hernia which was about 6 cm in size with slight omental adhesions that were easily taken down. the second hernia which was more in the upper espigastric area at the midline was close to 7 cm in size and incarcerated with most of the omentum in the subcutaneous tissue. the edges of the hernia neck were carefully divided with l hook bovie electroicautery and the hernia. after full reduction of this hernia both hernias were observed.
 
It would be helpful if you would edit your post to include what codes you have considered.
