Resection Techniques

Resection techniques refer to surgical methods used to remove part of an organ or tissue, often to treat diseases like cancer. Surgeons carefully excise the affected area, which could be a tumor in a specific organ such as the colon, lungs, or liver. The goal is to eliminate unhealthy tissue while preserving as much surrounding healthy tissue as possible. Techniques can vary, including traditional open surgery or minimally invasive approaches, like laparoscopic surgery, which involves smaller incisions. The choice of technique depends on the location and size of the tissue to be removed and the patient's overall health.
