removal of abnormal tissue by cutting it out

Surgical excision, also known as excision surgery or surgical removal, is a medical procedure where a surgeon cuts out and removes tissue, such as a tumor, lesion, or other abnormal growth, from the body. This technique is often used to treat conditions like skin cancer, cysts, or benign tumors, and can be performed using various tools, including scalpels, lasers, or electrosurgical devices, depending on the specific case and location of the tissue.
