Incisional biopsy of urinary passages and male genital organs: Incisional biopsy of kidney and perirenal tissue: Perirenal tissue

Tissue samples have been taken from the area next to 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 during an operation.

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.
