I would not want to assume that everyone knows the meaning of amputation because I know that the idea we have about it is the amputation of the leg, meanwhile it is beyond the leg.
So, I dug up a definition of amputation for better understanding below:
Amputation is the loss or removal of a body part such as a finger, toe, hand, foot, arm or leg. It can be a life changing experience affecting your ability to move, work, interact with others and maintain your independence. Continuing pain, phantom limb phenomena and emotional trauma can complicate recovery. Link
Of course there is usually a cause for amputation and most times it is to prevent a much bigger damage to the remaining part of the body.
When it comes to amputation, most people do not really have a choice to make. They are left with saving the remaining body part with a sacrifice of the amputated part.
Amputate it!
These are words offered by a brave man.
