Other operations on blood vessels and additional information about operations on blood vessels: Other blood vessel operations: Adhesiolysis and/or decompression

You have had an operation on one or more constricted blood vessels.

Blood vessels can become constricted for a variety of reasons. They can sometimes merge with, or stick to, the surrounding tissue. Then the blood can no longer flow properly through these constricted blood vessels. This type of growth or adhesion can be surgically detached so that constricted blood vessels are freed up.

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.
