OPS-Code 5-886.30:
Other operations on the mamma: Other plastic reconstruction of the mamma: Primary reconstruction with allo-prosthesis, subcutaneous: Without tissue-strengthening material
During surgery, your breast was reconstructed.
The breast is made up of fatty tissue, connective tissue and the mammary gland. Milk is produced in the mammary gland during and after pregnancy so that the child can be fed.
During your surgery, a breast implant was inserted. Breast implants are used to restore the shape of the breast. Normally, breast implants remain in the breast permanently. Your breast implant is made of synthetic material.
