<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Segmental resection''' (or '''segmentectomy''') is a [[surgical procedure]] to remove part of an organ or [[gland]], as a sub-type of a [[Resection (surgery)|resection]], which might involve removing the whole body part. It may also be used to remove a [[tumor]] and normal tissue around it. In [[lung cancer surgery]], segmental resection refers to removing a section of a [[Lobe (anatomy)|lobe]] of the [[lung]]. The [[resection margin]] is the edge of the removed tissue; it is important that this shows free of cancerous cells on examination by a [[pathologist]]. <br />
