OPS-Code 8-155.x:

Therapeutic aspiration and evacuation by puncture: Therapeutic percutaneous puncture of urinary organs: Other

One of your urinary organs has been punctured by a needle.

The urinary organs include organs that form urine or excrete it from the body. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.

When a urinary organ is punctured with a needle, any fluid that has collected can be drained away, for example.

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

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
