Definition: In medicine, the term ablation means to remove tissue from the body. This process can be used to remove a tiny piece of tissue, or a large quantity of tissue. There are many types of ablations and multiple techniques that are used to perform the removal of tissue, depending on the nature of the issue. An appendectomy, the procedure to remove an infected appendix, is considered a type of ablation.

French. 4. Save the world.
