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.
I read that Heather Mills had surgery to prepare for a revision amputation and I was just wondering what it was. Amputation is the intentional surgical removal of a limb or body part. It is performed to remove diseased tissue or relieve pain. Arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes can all be amputated. Most amputations involve small body parts such as a finger, rather than an entire limb.
