What does amputate?

The word 'amputate' means the surgical removal of a body part, such as a limb, due to injury, illness, or a corrective surgery. it is derived from the Latin term 'amputatus', meaning 'to cut off' or 'to remove'. Amputation is performed by cutting through bone and soft tissues such as muscles, nerves, and skin, and it is typically done as a last resort when other treatment options are not feasible or have failed.
