Preoperative marking is essential for several reasons:
Accuracy: It helps in accurately identifying the tumor, ensuring complete removal. Minimizing Errors: Reduces the risk of operating on the wrong site, which is particularly crucial in cancer surgery where precision is paramount. Guidance: Provides a visual guide for the surgeon, especially in cases where the tumor is not easily visible or palpable during surgery. Patient Safety: Enhances patient safety by reducing the likelihood of postoperative complications and improving overall surgical outcomes.
