OPS-Code 5-695.12:
Other operations on the uterus and operations on the parametria: Reconstruction of the uterus: Plastic reconstruction: Endoscopic (laparoscopic)
During surgery, your uterus was repaired.
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.The uterus can be repaired if its shape has been altered - whether from birth, following an illness, after childbirth, or after a medical procedure.
You have had a laparoscopy.A laparoscopy first involves making a small incision in the abdomen. A tube with a camera is pushed through this incision into the abdomen. This camera sends pictures of the inside of the abdomen to a screen. Tools such as forceps and scissors can be inserted through other small incisions in the abdomen.
