Incisional biopsy of other organs: Incisional biopsy of mediastinum and other intrathoracic organs: Bronchus

Tissue samples were taken from your bronchi during an operation.

When we breathe, the air gets into the body via the respiratory tract. The respiratory tract can be divided into the upper and the lower respiratory tracts. The nose and throat form part of the upper respiratory tract. The lower respiratory tract begins at the larynx. This includes the trachea and the bronchia.

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