excizní

Excizní is a Czech adjective derived from excize (excision) and is used primarily in medical terminology to describe procedures, tissues, or findings related to the surgical removal of tissue. An excizní procedure involves removing a lesion or a portion of tissue in one piece, typically with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue.

In clinical practice, excizní is commonly seen in terms such as excizní biopsie, where a lesion is completely removed and the specimen is sent for histopathological examination. This contrasts with incizní (incisional) biopsie, in which only a part of the lesion is removed for diagnostic purposes. The term is also used in descriptions of excizní resekce or excizní chirurgický zákrok, referring to broader surgical removals of tumors or abnormal tissue.

Pathology and treatment planning often rely on excizní margins to determine whether the lesion was fully excised. Clear margins indicate complete removal, while involved margins may necessitate further treatment. The word is commonly employed across dermatology, dentistry, and oncologic surgery, reflecting its role in describing definitive tissue removal rather than mere incision.

Etymology traces excizní to the noun excize, borrowed from French and ultimately from Latin excisio, both referring to the act of cutting out or removing tissue. The term remains a standard component of Czech medical language when distinguishing excisional from incisional techniques.
