OPS-Code 5-984:
Special surgical techniques and operations in special care situations: Microsurgical technique
During an operation being done on you, the area being treated was examined in magnified form.
A microscope or a special pair of glasses, for example, can be used to see the area being treated in magnified form. This enables certain details to be identified more clearly. As a result, the operation can be done with greater precision than with the naked eye.
Note
Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
