Manipulation of digestive tract: Transanal irrigation

Your intestine has been emptied using an enema.

An enema involves passing fluid through a tube to the lower intestine. The fluid makes the intestine empty itself. In this way, the contents of the intestine can be excreted along with the fluid.

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.
