Answer:

It removes a wedge of tissue for diagnosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Biopsy deals with removing a piece of tissue from the body and using it for some analysis in the laboratory. In the course of performing incisional biopsy, a scapel is used by the doctor to remove some skin area. This biopsy site may or may not be stitched depending on the amount of skin that was removed for the analysis.
