Segmentectomy is the excision (removal) of a portion of any organ or gland. The procedure has several variations and many names, including segmental resection, wide excision, lumpectomy, tumorectomy, quadrantectomy, and partial mastectomy.
In medicine, an orchiectomy is a surgical type of castration in which one or both testicles are removed. Patients suffering from testicular cancer make up the majority of people undergoing this form of surgery. Orchidectomy is an alternate spelling that may be used to refer to this surgical procedure.
