OPS-Code 5-687.0:

During surgery, several organs were removed from your pelvis.

Typically, during such an operation, the bladder, front vaginal wall, and uterus are removed.The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out.The vagina is tubular and leads from the outside to the uterus.The front wall of the vagina borders on the bladder and urethra.The uterus or womb sits in the pelvis and is pear-shaped. The narrower part extends downward into the vagina and is called the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the child grows in her uterus.

An ovary is usually also removed.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.During surgery, the urethra and pelvic lymph nodes may also be removed.The lymph nodes are small bean-shaped objects. They are found throughout the body. Lymph nodes filter the tissue fluid. They are part of the defense system.
