Surgeons perform amputations when traumatic injuries, such as those from war or vehicle accidents, cause significant tissue damage, or in cases of severe infections or diseases. However, humans are not the only species to perform such procedures.

外科醫生在創傷性損傷，如戰爭或車禍所致，引起重大組織損壞，或出現嚴重感染或疾病時，會進行截肢手術。然而，人類並非唯一執行此類手術的物種。

New research shows that some ants perform limb amputations on injured comrades to improve their survival chances. The behavior was documented in Florida carpenter ants - scientific name Camponotus floridanus - a reddish-brown species more than half an inch (1.5 cm) long inhabiting parts of the southeastern United States.
