Anatomic Resection

Anatomic resection is a surgical procedure where a specific section or segment of an organ, such as the liver or lung, is removed along its natural boundaries. This approach ensures removal of the tumor along with the surrounding tissue that shares the same blood supply and structure, which helps in reducing the chance of cancer recurrence. It is often preferred for removing cancerous tissue because it targets the affected segment precisely, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, and aims for complete removal of the disease with clear margins.
