Understanding Resectional Surgery: What You Need to Know

Resectional refers to surgery that involves removing a portion of an organ or tissue. The term "resection" means "to cut out" or "to remove," so resectional surgery involves cutting out or removing a specific area of the body.

For example, a resectional surgery for cancer might involve removing a tumor and some surrounding tissue. The goal of the surgery is to remove the cancerous cells and any other affected tissue to prevent the cancer from spreading further.

Resectional surgery can be performed on various parts of the body, including the brain, spine, lung, liver, kidney, and more. The type of resectional surgery used will depend on the location and extent of the disease or condition being treated.
