A ventral hernia is a hole in the muscle wall where the intestines can push through. This occurs if someone has lifted something heavy or has had surgeries that have weakened the muscle wall.
Incisional hernias are also ventral hernias.

Any kind of hernia causes pain, but ventral hernia is very painful.
Ventral hernia occurs when part of the contents of the abdominal cavity-; most often a piece of intestine that protrudes through the cavity and into the abdominal wall. Normally, the muscles and tissues that line the cavity keep the organs inside. Surgery is required and usually done with laparoscopic surgery, but, if there is a 'strangulation hernia' cutting off blood supply then a more extensive surgery will be done.

This is an omental hernia. There is a weak space in the ventral wall (abdomen) and the lining of the cavity (perineum) has protruded out but also some of the fat. The fat is like an apron covering the intestines. This is called the omentum.

The ICD-10-CM code for aftercare following surgery for an incarcerated ventral hernia is Z48.3. This code is used for aftercare involving surgical procedures, specifically indicating the need for follow-up care after the surgical intervention for the hernia. It is important to ensure proper documentation and coding for accurate patient records and billing purposes.
The medical term for a hernia containing fat is a "lipoma." However, if you are specifically referring to a hernia that involves fatty tissue protruding through a weakness in the abdominal wall, it might be called an "inguinal hernia" or "ventral hernia" depending on the location. These hernias can contain various types of tissue, including fat, and may require surgical evaluation.
