Local excision is the removal of a tumour from the lining of the colon wall. Various methods can be used: open surgery with incision, keyhole surgery (laparoscopic method) and robot-assisted surgery. The Swiss Atlas of Healthcare contains analyses on the frequency of excisions of colon cancers (including polyps) in inpatient settings.
