OPS-Code 5-429.e:

Operations on the oesophagus: Other operations on the oesophagus: Endoscopic injection

You have had treatment on your oesophagus.

The oesophagus or gullet connects the mouth with the stomach. It is made up of a muscular tube. The muscles in the oesophagus move food into the stomach.

Treatment like this involves pushing a tube through your mouth to your oesophagus. Images from the examined area can be transmitted to the outside via the tube. It can then be seen whether the tissue is healthy or changed. You have had a drug injected into your oesophagus.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
