| - Amputation is a surgical procedure where either a portion or all of a limb is permanently removed. Although it is perhaps the earliest of all surgical procedures it is rarely used today. It is used in cases of severe aggressive infection (such as necrotizing fasciitis) or severe crushing trauma to the limb. However, even in the later case, reconstructive vascular surgery is far more common. Amputation requires the surgeon to cut through skin, muscle, bone, ligaments and nerves until they are severed from the rest of the body. Prior to the development of anesthetics in the 19th century, the operation had to be performed as quickly as possible to prevent the patient from dying of shock. Today, the operation is performed much more carefully to allow the surgeon to cleanly sever the affected portions, leaving a cleaner wound that is easier to guard from infection. Many patients who have had amputations suffer from phantom pain, a feeling that comes from the missing limb despite its absence.

(ENT: "Minefield") Later that year, when Tucker assured Kaitaama that he wouldn't attempt to woo her, she warned him that if he did, the Sovereign Guard would cut off his hand. Tucker then quipped, "You must be a fun date." (ENT: "Precious Cargo") In 2369, William T. Riker's arm was amputated and then surgically re-attached by Solanogen-based lifeforms that were experimenting on crew members of USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Schisms" ) In 2375, a severe injury to Nog's left leg necessitated amputation after Nog was shot by Jem'Hadar on AR-558 (DS9: "The Siege of AR-558"), requiring him to deal with some psychological issues relating to the pain he felt even after receiving a new synthetic limb in its place. Vic Fontaine was able to help him with this psychological pain. (DS9: "It's Only a Paper Moon") In 2376, Lieutenant Maxwell Burke joked with Seven of Nine about needing amputation for her minor injuries (first degree phaser burns and minor lacerations), which Seven did not appreciate. (VOY: "Equinox, Part II")

In 1743 Loze Hamedeze contracted amputation from a polar bear during his travels in Scotland and on returning to his hometown of Torrington became very ill. With the primitive medical knowledge at the time doctors simply used leeches in an attempt to cure him, this did not work however and it was not long before others began to show symptoms of amputation. In the worst outbreak in medical records 74 people became ill and the town was evacuated, leaving behind anyone suspected of carrying the deadly illness. It is undocumented what exactly happened to those left behind, as it was not until 1901 that a suitable cure for amputation was discovered. It was Dr Luke Oakland that, on April 22 1901 became the first person to treat amputation successfully using a mixture of natural herbs and hamster blood, And it is a modified version of this method that we still use today.
