Special surgical techniques and operations in special care situations: Minimally invasive technique: Natural orifice endoscopic surgery [NOTES]: Transcolic approach

Your treatment involved being careful to damage as little tissue as possible.

To operate on you, instruments were inserted through your anus. No incision was made in your skin. So there is no scarring to the skin after this type of operation.

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.
