	NRCCS - A non-randomized comparative study of adjuvant chemotherapy after liver resection for metastatic colorectal ...
		Resection of liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma has been established as the treatment of choice, if size and location of metastases permit complete removal of the tumor.
		When patients were stratified according to presumptive risk factors it rather appeared that chemotherapy after resection of hepatic metastases was associated with a reduced long term survival in the subgroup of patients with a relatively good prognosis (low risk group).
		Adjuvant perioperative hepatic arterial mitomycin C and floxuridine combined with surgical resection of metastatic colorectal cancer in the liver.

	eMedicine - Transurethral Resection of the Prostate : Article by Stephen W Leslie, MD, FACS
		Resection of the anterior prostate opposite the bladder neck can be impaired when deflection of the resectoscope is restricted by the edge of the cystoscopy table.
		Resecting additional tissue from the bladder neck later during the procedure is often tempting, but this often results in undermining the trigone and inadvertent resection of one or both ureteral orifices.
		Spinal anesthesia is generally preferred for transurethral resections for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the ability to converse with the patient and to evaluate him for symptoms of an early dilutional hyponatremia (ie, TUR syndrome) during surgery.

	The Liver Cancer Network Treatment: Surgery
		To be considered for a liver resection, the cancer must be confined only to the liver so that removal will eliminate all disease from the body.
		Resection of segments of the liver (called segmentectomy) permit a surgeon to effectively treat multiple liver tumors.
		This patient underwent resection of a segment of the liver and the next two images show the specimen with a 1 cm.

	Lung Cancer: Who is a Candidate for Surgery?: An Emerging Role for PET Scanning
		After determining that lung cancer is present, it is important to assess the resectability of the tumor as well as the suitability of the patient for an operation evaluating the histological type of cancer, the degree of invasion, and the patient’s other medical conditions.
		Resectability of the tumor depends on the type of cancer as well as the degree of invasion which is determined by characteristics of the primary tumor as well as the presence of lymph node or distant metastases.
		Once a patient is determined to be a candidate for curative resection by appropriate staging, the patient’s functional capacity is evaluated to predict the possibility of perioperative complications, long-term respiratory failure, or death.

	Bowel resection for colorectal cancer
		Resection is another name for any operation that removes tissue or part of an organ.
		Bowel resection, also called partial colectomy, for colorectal cancer removes the tumor and part of the colon or rectum on either side.
		The goal of bowel resection is to take out the part of the colon or rectum where the cancer is, along with at least 2 in.(5 cm) on either side.

	Bowel resection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A bowel resection is a surgical procedure in which a part of the large or small intestine is removed.
		Bowel resection may be performed to treat various disorders of the intestine, including cancer, obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, ruptured diverticulum, ischemia (compromised blood supply), or traumatic injury.
		The preferred type of bowel resection involves removal of the diseased portion of intestine, and surgically re-joining the remaining ends.

	Transurethral Resection of Prostate - Find a Doctor Overseas - Urogenital Surgery
		In the Transurethral Resection of Prostate, the glandular tissue is removed in small chips or pieces as opposed to Radical Prostatectomy where the prostate gland is removed in it's entirety.
		Since the Transurethral Resection of Prostate does not remove the prostate gland completely, a Radical Prostatectomy is a better choice in case of prostate cancer.
		Transurethral Resection of Prostate is considered to be a minimally invasive procedure and can be a treatment of choice for patients who are at high medical risk for anesthesia or a major operation such as Radical Prostatectomy.

	Liver Resection - Health and Medical Information produced by doctors - MedicineNet.com
		Liver resection is the surgical removal of a portion of the liver.
		The goal of liver resection is to completely remove the tumor and the appropriate surrounding liver tissue without leaving any tumor behind.
		Therefore, before resection is performed for HCC, the non-tumor portion of the liver should be biopsied to determine whether there is associated cirrhosis.

	Pancreatic Cancer
		Surgical resection provides the only potential cure for pancreatic cancer, yet resection in patients 70 years of age and older remains controversial because of presumed increased morbidity and mortality.
		Despite the low overall incidence of resectability and postoperative cure rate for pancreatic carcinoma, exploration for potential curative resection should not necessarily be withheld for healthy, selected patients who are older than 70 years.
		The mortality among patients undergoing pancreatectomy and resection of the portal vein (9.5%) was similar to that of patients with pancreatectomy alone (10%).

	Laparoscopic Resection of Colonic Carcinoma
		Pre-operative tumor localization is important in laparoscopic resection of colonic cancer as intraoperative localization by palpation of the colon for tumours, that are not visible on the serosal side, is not possible unless the hand assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) technique is used.
		In laparoscopic-assisted colon resection, part of the procedure is performed in an open fashion through an incision made for the extraction of the resected specimen.
		For a laparoscopic oncological resection to be as safe as an open resection, the extent of colon resection should not differ from that of open colectomy.

		Furthermore, should there be a limited number of resectable pulmonary metastases as well as hepatic metastases, both the liver and the lung can be resected sequentially, in many cases yielding statistics not too different from cases that are solely liver or solely lung resections.
		Surgical resection should be attempted for hepatic colorectal metastases, as this is associated with prolonged overall survival.
		...The resectability of metastases, the frequency and pattern of recurrence after resection, and the length of survival were compared in patients referred to a single center for resection of colorectal hepatic metastases.

	Colon Cancer * Laparoscopic colorectal surgery for cancer: Is it ready for prime time? * colon cancer surgery
		A sound oncologic resection is defined as complete tumor removal, with an adequate intestinal surgical margin and removal of the draining lymph nodes.
		Laparoscopic rectal resection is considerably more difficult than colon resection, due to the narrow confines of the bony pelvis, and the need to identify retroperitoneal structures such as the nerves that control sexual and bladder function(11).
		The few studies concerning minimally invasive rectal resection for cancer indicate that the procedure is safe and feasible; however, more often than not, it cannot be entirely performed laparoscopically, and an incision is required to complete dissection low in the pelvis(12).

	eMedicine - Short Bowel Syndrome : Article by Carmen Cuffari, MD
		In 54 neonates who underwent extensive small-bowel resection, the presence of less than 40 cm of small intestine in children with either colonic resection or an absent ileocecal valve had a strong association with a prolonged need for parenteral nutrition (>48 mo).
		Ileal resection leads to the malabsorption of bile salts and an abnormal bile acid pool that leads to the formation of a lithogenic bile and cholelithiasis.
		The degree of hypersecretion is proportional to the degree of bowel resected.

	Margins of Resection
		When you have a lumpectomy, resection, excisional biopsy, or mastectomy, a pathologist examines the tumor removed from your breast.
		The piece of tissue that was removed, or the whole breast if you had a mastectomy, is first rolled in a special ink, so that doctors can always tell what is the outer edge.
		Doctors use the term "margins" or "margins of resection" to refer to the distance between the tumor and the edge of the tissue.
