Definition of Ablation
Ablation definition - medical term
Remo val or excision. Ablation is usually carried out surgically.
For example, surgical removal of the thyroid gland (a total thyroidectomy) is ablation
of the thyroid. The word ablation comes from the Latin ablatum meaning to carry
away.
Historically, the word ablation once had mainly a general meaning so that in
1671 the ablation (removal) of a disease was a matter for consideration. But by
1846 "ablation" had taken on a specifically surgical edge and today it applies principally
to the surgical removal of any part of the body.
