Incisional biopsy of other digestive organs, diaphragm and (retro-)peritoneum: Incisional biopsy of other digestive organs, peritoneum and retroperitoneal tissue: Bowel, unspecified

Tissue samples have been taken from your intestines.

The intestines are made up of the small intestine and the large intestine or colon. The small intestine connects to the stomach. The nutrients are absorbed into the blood from the food in the small intestine. The large intestine is where water and minerals are removed from the partially digested food (chyme). The stool is then excreted via the rectum.

The tissue samples were taken during an operation.
