Diagnostic puncture and aspiration: Diagnostic percutaneous puncture of urinary organs: Other

A sample has been taken from your urinary organs with a needle.

The urinary organs include organs that form urine or excrete it from the body. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.

The sample taken can be tissue or fluid. It can then be examined in the laboratory.

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.
