Dissection is separation of tissue. When a surgeon is dissecting a tumor, they are separating the tumor from the tissue to which it is attached so they can remove it. To document as a gradual dissection, they are indicating that they had to really take their time to carefully go one layer at a time to remove the attachment of the tumor without compromising or destroying the surrounding tissue.
