RESECT is a medical term used to describe the surgical removal of a part of an organ or tissue. It is a combination of two words, 'REMOVE' and 'EXCISE', which both mean to cut away or take out. The procedure is often used to treat cancerous tumors or other abnormal growths. In some cases, it may also be used to REMOVE a damaged or diseased organ or tissue. RESECT is a common procedure in many medical fields, including oncology, urology, and gynecology.
