Surgical excision is a medical procedure that involves the removal of tissue or a tumor from the body. This technique is often used to treat conditions such as cancer or to remove abnormal growths. The procedure is typically performed by a surgeon in a hospital or surgical center, and it may require anesthesia to ensure the patient is comfortable during the operation. After the excision, the removed tissue is usually sent to a laboratory for analysis. This helps determine if any further treatment is needed. Recovery time varies depending on the size and location of the excised tissue, as well as the patient's overall health.
