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.

Procedure category notes: Note: In categories L16 to L21, L48 to L54 and L56-L6 5reference to iliac artery (not further qualified) should be understood to include: • common iliac artery • external iliac artery • internal iliac artery Similarly reference to femoral artery includes: • common femoral artery • deep femoral artery • superficial femoral artery The minimum wound class for vascular surgery is clean.

Procedure subcategory notes: Includes: Emergency bypass of iliac artery using prosthesis not elsewhere classified Emergency replacement of iliac artery not elsewhere classified Emergency replacement of iliac artery using prosthesis not elsewhere classified Includes: Emergency bypass of iliac artery by anastomosis of aorta to internal iliac artery not elsewhere classified Includes: Emergency bypass of artery of leg by anastomosis of aorta to superficial femoral artery not elsewhere classified Emergency bypass of artery of leg by anastomosis of aorta to popliteal artery not elsewhere classified Includes: Emergency bypass of artery of leg by anastomosis of iliac artery to popliteal artery not elsewhere classified


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.
