Ablation#Medicine

Ablation (Latin ablatio " removal, separation)" is a medical term and stands for the removal of body tissue or body parts. This also includes indirect removal by sclerosing with catheter ablation. The term " amputation " here has a partially synonymous meaning, where the ablation is usually a much more limited approach (eg, the Lungenvenenablation ). However, can certainly be referred to relatively large-scale interventions as " ablation ". An example of this is the medical term for the removal of the breast: "Mamma ablation ".

Ablation is also spoken in tumor therapy when tumor tissue is destroyed, for example by heat. An example of this is the radiofrequency ablation, in which an attempt is made with a needle to make a tumor and then to destroy it by heating the needle tip in the corresponding organ (eg the liver).

Also an outgoing by the body itself morbid detachment process is described by the term such as retinal detachment ( retinal detachment or retinal detachment ) or premature placental detachment ( retinal detachment or abruptio placentae ).

For word usage

If " ablation perform " with a verb be rewritten so there is no clear Verb. Is used in the parlance of physicians occasionally " ablate " or " ablate ". This is actually linguistically incorrect due to the Latin origin of auferre. Ablation is the nominalization of the verb, which is formed in Latin from the past participle passive. Auferre is an irregular verb whose root forms aufero, abstuli, ablatum loud. Therefore, the correct active form must be in German " auferieren " are ( cf. translation and transfer or secretion and secrete ). The form " auferieren " is in use, but even more rare than the aforementioned " ablate " or " ablate ".
