Biopsy without incision on digestive organs: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of hepatobiliary system: Liver

Tissue samples have been taken from your liver.

The liver is an important organ on the top right of the abdomen. For example, it helps with blood clotting and detoxifying the body. Nutrients from food are processed in the liver.

Tissue samples were taken from you while you were having an ultrasound examination. This ultrasound examination was done using a tube. To use ultrasound to closely examine tissue or organs, the ultrasound probe should be as close as possible to the location being examined. For this purpose, the ultrasound probe can be inserted into the body using a tube.

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.
