Unil femoral hernia, w/o obst or gangrene, not spcf as recur

This code signifies a femoral hernia occurring on one side of the body that does not involve any blockage of the bowel or tissue death. It describes a reducible femoral hernia where the specific side (left or right) is not documented, and there is no indication of a previous repair.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a non-obstructed, non-gangrenous femoral hernia when the medical record does not specify laterality (left or right) and does not indicate a history of recurrence. This code is appropriate when the physician's documentation simply states "femoral hernia, no obstruction or gangrene."

• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies the hernia as recurrent; instead, select a code from K41.1- or K41.2-.
• Avoid this code if laterality (left or right) is clearly documented; choose K41.91 (right) or K41.92 (left) accordingly.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly rules out obstruction and gangrene to support the "without obstruction or gangrene" specificity.
