Diagnostic endoscopy of urinary passages: Diagnostic endoscopy of urinary diversion: Ileal pouch

A thin tube has been used to examine your urinary passages.

The urinary passages include the ureters, bladder and urethra. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder. You have a urostomy. This urostomy is made up of parts of your intestine.

The tube was pushed through your urostomy. 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.
