Diagnostic endoscopy of urinary passages: Diagnostic urethrocystoscopy of augmented bladder: Without artificial urinary sphincter

A thin tube has been used to examine your urethra and your bladder.

When you have to pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out. A while ago, a part of your bladder was removed and part of your intestine was stitched on.

The tube was pushed through your urethra. A camera is attached to the end of the tube. This camera then sends images to a screen during the examination. It can then be seen whether the tissue is healthy or changed.

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.
