Other operations on small and large intestine: Other intestinal reconstruction: Inspection of an anastomosis: Other

You have had another operation on your intestine.

The intestines are made up of the small intestine and the large intestine or colon. Most of the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine. The large intestine (colon) is where water and salt are withdrawn from the stool. The last segment of the large intestine (colon) is the rectum. Stool then leaves the body through the anus.

In previous surgery, a part of your small intestine was connected to another section of your gastrointestinal tract. You have now had another operation on this junction.

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.
