Incisional biopsy of other organs: Incisional biopsy of other organs and tissue: Abdominal wall

Tissue samples were taken from your abdominal wall during an operation.

The abdominal wall is the front part of the abdomen. The abdominal wall is made up of various layers. From the outermost to the innermost, the layers are: the skin, the fatty tissue, the muscles and various connective tissue layers. The abdominal wall is very solid. The organs thus remain in the abdomen even at high pressure.

  • B: Both sides

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