Other operations on nerves and nerve ganglia: Other operations on nerves and ganglia: Using an endoscopy system

As part of treatment for your nerves, a tube with a camera was used.

The treatment usually involves inserting the tube through an incision in the skin. 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.
