K40.11 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of bilateral inguinal hernia, with gangrene, recurrent. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code K40 is used to code Inguinal hernia

An inguinal hernia is a protrusion of abdominal-cavity contents through the inguinal canal. Symptoms are present in about 66% of affected people. This may include pain or discomfort especially with coughing, exercise, or bowel movements. Often it gets worse throughout the day and improves when lying down. A bulging area may occur that becomes larger when bearing down. Inguinal hernias occur more often on the right than left side. The main concern is strangulation, where the blood supply to part of the bowel is blocked. This usually produces severe pain and tenderness of the area.
