*Excision and resection refer to work done on an '''internal''' body part.  If it's an external body part consider instead use of '''[[Amputation]]'''.

*The tricky distinction here is whether the excision was '''partial, total, or radical'''.  This is usually indicated in the operative note written by the surgeon.
This template puts the guidelines for [[:Category:Excision | excisions]] into the relevant procedures.  
**[[Excision, Resection, partial]] indicates that only part of the body part was removed -- e.g. partial thyroidectomy
**[[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 were removed also -- e.g. radical neck dissection, radical mastectomy.
***The adjacent structures typically include lymph nodes, adjacent soft tissue structures.  


* If a reconstruction was done as well, also code [[Excision with Reconstruction, Replacement]].

*Would [[Excision with Reconstruction, Replacement]] always be coded ''with'' one of the other excision codes?
 
**AG REPLY -- No. If there was reconstruction/replacement, just code [[Excision with Reconstruction, Replacement]] by itself.
 
*** So in that case it is OK to lose the total/partial/radical distinction? Ttenbergen 09:17, 2018 May 2 (CDT)}}
