👉 Costectomies are surgical procedures that involve removing and then replacing a damaged or diseased organ, such as the heart or kidney. These procedures are often performed in hospitals to treat diseases like cancer, but they can also be used to save lives when a person has no other options for treatment. Costectomies are typically carried out under general anesthesia and may require surgery to remove any foreign body or tissue that is causing the pain or discomfort.
