Operations on the bladder: Transurethral incision, excision, destruction and resection of (diseased) tissue in the bladder: Destruction: By microwave ablation

Tissue in your bladder has been destroyed.

The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out.

To treat your bladder, a device was pushed through your urethra to the bladder. The device also has a camera attached so that the inside of your bladder can be viewed on a screen. The affected tissue was destroyed using heat.

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.
