resectioning
Surgically removing portions
Resectioning is the act of dividing something into new sections or parts, or of performing the surgical procedure called resection again.
In surveying and mapping, resectioning determines one's position by taking bearings on known landmarks.
Medical contexts may use it for repeated surgical removal of tissue: The tumor required resectioning after it regrew.
