*Excision and resection refer to work done on an INTERNAL body part.  If it's an external body part consider instead use of '''[[Amputation]]'''.
{{CCI Excision}}
*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.
 
**Partial indicates that only part of the body part was removed -- e.g. partial thyroidectomy
**Total indicates ALL of the body part was removed -- e.g. total gastrectomy
**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.
