Surgical Biopsy

A surgical biopsy is a medical procedure where a doctor removes a small piece of tissue from your body, often to examine it more closely. This helps doctors determine if there is an illness, such as cancer or infection. The procedure can be done using different techniques, like removing the tissue through a small incision or an open approach. The sample is then sent to a lab where specialists analyze it under a microscope. This information helps doctors diagnose your condition accurately and decide on the best treatment options.
