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

Tissue samples have been taken from your spermatic cord.

The spermatic cord runs through the inner abdominal region down to the testicles. The spermatic cord contains various blood vessels and nerves and the spermatic duct (vas deferens). The sperm are transported out of the testicles into the urethra by the spermatic duct.

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.
