Gangrene is often treated by an operation to remove the dead tissue. 1  If it's an area of tissue that can be removed, the operation is called debridement - the surgical removal of lacerated, devitalized, or contaminated tissue. If it's a leg, foot, finger, or toe that have to be removed, the operation is called an amputation - the surgical removal of an affected part of the body.
