Any thoughts on coding for an obturator hernia? It's deep in the pelvic area?
Thank you for your thoughts!

In regards to the Obturator Hernia

What CPT code would you use to repair this type of hernia?

I'm trying to code the same thing, although it's incarcerated. Anyone know what CPT to use?

I would look at 44050 it might apply if the surgeon did it via laparotomy.
