Tissue samples have been taken from your anus.

The anus is located at the end of the intestines and is ring-shaped. A sphincter muscle in the last segment of the intestines ensures that we only intentionally excrete feces through the anus.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right

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