Endoscopic ultrasound: Endoscopic ultrasound of male genital organs: Transurethral

Your genital organs have been examined using ultrasound.

An ultrasound examination involves sending ultrasound waves from an ultrasound probe in the body. Depending on the structure of the tissue, different numbers of ultrasound waves are reflected. These waves are then converted to images that can be viewed on a screen.

To use ultrasound to closely examine tissue or organs, the ultrasound probe should be as close as possible to the location being examined. For this purpose, the ultrasound probe can be inserted into the body using a tube.

To examine your genital organs, a tube with an ultrasound probe was inserted via your urethra. The tube was then pushed on into your bladder.

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.
