Methodology
Generated programmatically from the Surgical Site Infection Surveillance Service (SSISS) Operating Procedure Codes Supplement (OPCS) under the UK Open Government Licence v3.0. This includes codelists for 17 categories of surgical procedure. Within each category, there are subcategories of procedures. This codelist includes the codes for a single subcategory.
Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
