explanted

Taken from body

Explanted describes tissue or an organ that has been surgically removed from the body, typically a medical device or implant that was previously placed there.

Breast implants, pacemakers, and artificial joints may be explanted when they malfunction, cause complications, or reach the end of their useful life: The surgeon explanted the defective hip replacement.
