Resektioone

Resektioone is a term primarily used in surgical contexts, referring to the act of removing a portion of an organ or tissue. This procedure is a common type of surgery performed for various medical reasons. The specific organ or tissue targeted by the resection depends on the condition being treated. For example, a partial colectomy is a resection of a portion of the colon, often performed to remove cancerous growths or diseased segments. Similarly, a partial nephrectomy involves removing a part of the kidney.

The decision to perform a resection is based on a thorough diagnosis and assessment of the patient's condition. Factors influencing this decision include the size and location of the abnormality, the overall health of the patient, and the potential benefits versus risks of the surgery. While resection aims to remove diseased or damaged tissue, it is important to note that the extent of the removal is carefully considered to preserve as much healthy organ function as possible. Post-operative care and recovery are crucial to ensure proper healing and restoration of function. The term is distinct from an 'excision,' which generally implies the complete removal of a structure.
