Medical - Medical (general) / Pathology report
Spanish term or phrase: pieza operatoria simple
The following appears in a pathology report:

ESTUDIO MACROSCÓPICO Y MICROSCÓPICO DE PIEZA OPERATORIA SIMPLE . VES (15.01.[illegible]

Material:
Pólipo vesical.

Examen Macroscópico:
Múltiples fragmentos desde 0.3 hasta 1 cm de diámetro, pardos de aspecto papilar. Se procesan en su totalidad.

It seems to me that "PIEZA OPERATORIA SIMPLE" is intended to indicate "BIOPSY" in this context, rather than the literal translation as "SIMPLE OPERATIVE SPECIMEN", but I'm really unsure about it.

Can anyone help on this?

Cheers,
John

biopsy sample or specimen (surgical resection specimen?)


Explanation:
Yes, it refers to a biopsy. I'm pretty sure this is a surgical resection specimen.
- Pieza operatoria: obtenida por la extracción quirúrgica de un órgano o parte del mismo con fines terapéuticos. Ej.: vesícula biliar, apéndice cecal, bazo, riñón, mama, etc. GENERAL: analiza los fenómenos patológicos generales del organismo.

"Las biopsias por escisión o escisionales son aquellas que se realizan por procedimientos quirúrgicos macroscópicos para extirpar completamente una lesión, usualmente tumoral. El término de PIEZA QUIRURGICA se emplea para designar a las biopsias escisionales que comprenden un órgano completo, una amplia porción anatómica del mismo o varios órganos relacionados entre sí."
https://www.huvn.es/asistencia_sanitaria/anatomia_patologica...

"Surgical resection specimens are obtained by the therapeutic surgical removal of an entire diseased area or organ (and occasionally multiple organs). These procedures are often intended as definitive surgical treatment of a disease in which the diagnosis is already known or strongly suspected."

neutral  Anne Schulz: I would have thought so as well, but subsequently multiple small fragments are mentioned, which seems to speak against excision.
