'''Excision''' (from Latin: ''excidere'', chop out, cut, cut away) in medical contexts of surgery means the surgical total or partial removal of an organ, tissue, bone or tumor from a living body.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/excision |title=Excision |last= |first= |publisher=Free Dictionary |accessdate=2021-07-26}}</ref>
In contrast to the [[incision]], the affected tissue is cut out.
