Is this considered ventral hernia? The pt has an ileostomy plan's to have a j-pouch so to provide temporary solution to the obstruction the dr. repaired the peristomal hernia.
 
What does your op note say? There has to be some type of revision/repair because a parastomal hernia is a complication of an end colostomy.
 
When my docs do a parastomal hernia repair without revising the stoma, we just add a -52 modifier to 44346. Is their another way this should be coded?
