Resektci

Resektci is a term encountered in some multilingual medical texts. It is not a widely recognized term in major dictionaries or standard glossaries. In many cases, resektci may reflect a transliteration or misspelling of the English word resection, or correspond to a similar term in a Slavic language. When used, its specific meaning should be determined from the source language context.

Resection, in medicine, refers to the surgical removal of part or all of an organ or region of tissue. It is performed for cancer control, benign disease, or inflammatory conditions. Procedures may be open, laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, or robotic.

Common examples include liver resection (hepatectomy), colorectal resection, gastric resection, and lung resection (lobectomy or segmentectomy). Endoscopic resections are used for certain polyps or early cancers.

Key concepts include achieving clear margins, tissue preservation, and functional outcomes. Specimens are examined histopathologically to determine margins and stage.

Risks include bleeding, infection, injury to adjacent structures, anastomotic leakage, and anesthesia-related complications. Outcomes depend on disease type, stage, and the extent of resection.

Etymology: from Latin resectio. Variants in other languages include resekcja (Polish) and resektcija (Croatian/Serbian). The form resektci appears infrequently and may be a spelling variant rather than a distinct term.
