explanting
Taking tissue out
Explanting is the surgical removal of something previously implanted in the body.
The term appears most often in discussions of breast implant removal: She's considering explanting after experiencing health issues.
It also applies to removing other medical devices—pacemakers, mesh, or joint replacements.
In laboratory contexts, explanting means removing tissue from an organism for culture.
