OPS-Code 5-987.01:
Special surgical techniques and operations in special care situations: Use of a surgery robot: Complex surgery robot: Multiple arms
Your operation involved using a robot.
The robot consisted of a control unit and multiple robot arms. Depending on the surgical procedure, special instruments can be placed in the robot arms. The control unit can display greatly magnified three-dimensional images of the inside of the body. So the robot arm devices can be controlled with great precision during the operation.
Additional indicator
If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.
- L: Left
- R: Right
- B: Both sides
Note
Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
