Excision and resection in lung and bronchus: Extended lobectomy and bilobectomy of lung: Lobectomy without bronchoplasty or angioplasty extension: With vascular resection intrapericardial

You have had an operation to remove one of your pulmonary lobes.

There is a lung on either side. Each lung is made up of individual pulmonary lobes. The right lung has three pulmonary lobes, the left lung has two pulmonary lobes.

You also had tissue at the large blood vessels in your pericardium removed.

The pericardium is a layer of connective tissue surrounding the heart. There is some fluid in the pericardium (heart sac). So the heart is able to move inside this lining.

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

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
