For instance, some bowel lesions are small. Then they can be excised with a technique that spare the back of the bowel, versus once the lesion has gotten to be very large, then we have to do a larger resection of the complete bowel. So there are two different techniques. One is associated with half the risk of complication that you can see after. So, if you're able to pick it up when the lesion is still small, the patient can undergo a surgery that is less risky to the patient.
