AI overview
Amputation is the removal of a limb or other body part, which can happen due to injury, disease, or surgical procedures performed to control pain or prevent serious conditions like gangrene or cancer. It matters because it's a significant medical intervention that can preserve health or life, though it also represents a major change to a person's physical functioning and quality of life.
