Abscission

Cutting off (abscission) is the surgical removal of a limb, part of it, any organ or tissue.

Clipping is used in medicine in the following cases:

1. Amputation of a limb or part of it in case of severe injuries, tissue necrosis, or serious illnesses.

2. Removal of an organ or part of an organ in case of cancer, severe injuries, or functional failure. For example, mastectomy for breast cancer, resection of the stomach or intestines, etc.

3. Removal of affected tissue. For example, necrectomy is the surgical removal of dead tissue.

Excision is always carried out in compliance with the rules of asepsis and antisepsis, under general anesthesia. After surgery, careful monitoring of the patient is necessary to prevent complications.

Thus, cutting off allows the patient to be rid of damaged, non-viable or functionally unnecessary tissues and organs. This is often the only way to save a person's life or improve its quality.

Abscission is the surgical removal of a limb, part of it, or any organ or tissue.

This operation is performed in cases where an organ or limb cannot be restored and poses a threat to the life or health of the patient. Cutting off may be necessary for severe injuries, cancer, severe infections and gangrene.

During ablation surgery, the surgeon makes an incision, separates the organ or limb from the rest of the body, and places sutures on the remaining stump. As a rule, the leg is cut off above or below the knee, the arm above or below the elbow. It is less common to have to remove the entire limb.

Although cutting is a last resort to save the patient's life, this operation has serious consequences. A person permanently loses a part of the body, which entails impaired mobility and self-care. After cutting off, long-term rehabilitation with prosthetics is required. Despite the difficulties, thanks to modern technology, cutting off gives many people a chance at a full life.

Cutting off or abcision in surgery is the cessation of the functions of some part of the body, as a result of which it dies and, in the process of its natural degradation, is replaced by other tissues and organs. In medicine, this term is often used to refer to amputation, which can be encountered at different times in a person’s life.

**Causes of abcision** There are reasons for the death of segments. A common feature of all of them is weakening of the function of their distal areas. As the pathological
