This template puts the guidelines for [[:Category:Excision | excisions]] into the relevant procedures.  
**'''Example''': a radical breast resection accompanied by a breast reconstruction, only code '''[[Excision with Reconstruction, Replacement]]'''
 
* Otherwise the distinction is whether the extent of the excision, usually indicated in the operative note written by the surgeon:
To use:
**[[Excision, Resection, partial]] indicates that only part of the body part was removed -- e.g. partial thyroidectomy
<pre>{{CCI Guideline Excisions}}</pre>
**[[Excision, Resection, total]] indicates ALL of the body part was removed -- e.g. total gastrectomy
 
**[[Excision, Resection, radical]] indicates that not only was all of the body part removed, but adjacent structures such as lymph nodes, adjacent soft tissue structures were also removed.
*** '''Examples''': radical neck dissection, radical mastectomy.
