Additional Info

• 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.
  • 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.
