French term

réséquer une partie

French to English Medical Medical (general) hospitalisation summary
Good evening,

I'm trying to work out the meaning of this sentence including "réséquer une partie."

The patient has a melanoma on the right nasal ala. This is a surgical report for resection of the lesion and reconstruction of the nose.

Here is the sentence with the previous and subsequent sentences (they have just described the lesion, which was small, but "relatively thick."):

On fait une résection d'un peu plus d'un centimètre tout autour de la lésion. Il faut dire que le site est quand même particulier au niveau de l'aile du nez. Il faut donc réséquer une partie, la résection empiète donc légèrement sur la joue, sur la lèvre supérieure. On enlève l'aile nasale jusqu'au dôme.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Phil, I know, it just seems a little odd, since they just finished saying that they resected a little more that a centimeter all around the lesion. Oh, I think I see what I was missing.... Thanks! I need to "talk it out."

Not a medic, but... Resect a part of this?

excise a section of tissue /block of tissue

Just a suggestion. However 'partie' seems to refer a section of tissue incorporating part of the ala, lip and cheek, so I was looking for phrasing that would allow for this.

Thanks Sue. True - it seems the "distinctive" (particulier?) location of the lesion makes it necessary (donc?) to resect a section as you described. Is it me or is the sentence structure not helping?!

If the alar development is excessive and bulbous, excision of a wedge of ala at the alar-facial junction 1 mm to 2 mm above the alar-facial crease will reduce the overall bulkiness of the alar anatomy (Fig. 3). Some medial repositioning of the alae may be effected with this maneuver. Reduction of the overall length of the alar ...
