inciziós
Inciziós is an adjective used in medical terminology to describe something relating to an incision. It derives from the Latin incisio, meaning “a cutting into,” with a suffix that forms adjectives indicating pertaining to. In clinical contexts, inciziós is used to label procedures, wounds, or findings that result from or involve a surgical cut, as opposed to terms that denote complete tissue removal. For example, an inciziós biopsy refers to a procedure in which only part of a lesion is removed for diagnostic purposes, while an excisional biopsy removes the entire lesion. The term can also describe incision lines, healing of an incision, or scars that form along a surgical entry point. In medical records, inciziós helps distinguish partial, incision-related changes from more extensive, tissue-removing processes. The English equivalent is incisional; usage and spelling vary by language. See also incision, incisional biopsy, wound healing, and surgical scar.
