OPS-Code 5-657.x4:
Operations on the ovary: Adhesiolysis on ovary and fallopian tube without microsurgical management: Other: Conversion vaginal – open surgical
Adhesions on your ovary or fallopian tubes were surgically released.
The ovaries are part of the female genitals. There are two ovaries, one on each side. The ovaries sit low down in the abdomen. Egg cells mature in the ovaries. The egg cells can later develop into a child. The ovaries also produce various messenger substances.
The two fallopian tubes go to the right and left of the ovaries towards the womb. They are like tubes and they transport the egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus.
The operation was initially performed via your vagina. An incision was then made in your abdomen.
