OPS-Code 5-658.7:
Operations on the ovary: Adhesiolysis on ovary and fallopian tube with microsurgical management: On the ovary
During surgery, adhesions on your ovary were 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 operation was performed with the aid of magnifying loupes or a surgical microscope. Special instruments were used to make fine stitches.
