Biopsy without incision on urinary organs and male genital organs: Imaging-guided percutaneous biopsy of urinary organs and male genital organs: Kidney

Tissue samples have been taken from your kidney.

There are 2 kidneys in the body. There is one on each side of the spine just below the ribcage. Each kidney is made up of renal tissue and a renal pelvis. The renal tissue purifies the blood and, by doing so, produces urine. The urine gathers in the renal pelvis.

The tissue samples were taken using a needle. This needle was inserted through your skin into the relevant tissue. At the same time, images were taken of the inside of your body. That way it is possible to see exactly where the needle is.

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.
