OPS-Code 5-492.01:
Operations on the anus: Excision and destruction of diseased tissue from the anal canal: Excision: Deep
Diseased tissue was removed from your anal canal.
The last segment of the large intestine consists of 2 sections. These 2 sections are the rectum and anal canal. The feces are collected in the rectum. The feces then move through the short anal canal to the anus. Feces are excreted through the anus.The anus is located at the end of the intestines and is ring-shaped. A sphincter muscle in the last segment of the intestines ensures that feces are excreted only intentionally through the anus.
