Biopsy without incision on eye, ear, nose and skin of face and head: Biopsy without incision on eyelid and eyebrow: Eyelid

Tissue samples have been taken from your eyelid.

The eyelids along with the lashes are located above and under the eye. They protect the eye from injuries and drying out. Fat, muscles, and several glands are included in the eyelid, among other things. The glands produce some partly fatty elements for the layer of fluid on the eye.

The tissue samples can be taken using a hollow needle, for example. This needle is inserted into the skin at the appropriate point. This punches out the tissue sample in a cylindrical shape.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
