Removed organs that are not used for transplant are sent off to a biohazard crematoria to be incinerated and destroyed.
Most of the organs removed from the body are processed in a pathology laboratory (depending on local/regional regulations) and after a certain period, ranging from days to months, they are disposed of as medical waste.
They are normally put in a special container and disposed of as medical waste. they are bagged as biohazard.
The Human Tissues Act states that “material taken from the living should normally be disposed of by incineration in accordance with current guidelines”.
However, a crematorium cannot legally cremate any human tissue or organs from a living person.
When a hospital amputates body parts the hospital will send the amputated body parts off to a Biohazard Crematoria to be destroyed or if the patient approves they may also be donated to a medical college and then eventually destroyed.
However in most cases the amputated body parts are cremated and destroyed.
On rare occasions when it is requested by the patient for religious or personal reasons, the limb will be provided to them.
In some cases amputation may shorten life expectancy some but not everyone who has an amputation has a shorter life.
Amputation can sometimes shorten some peoples life expectancy depending on the persons age and current health and why they had to have a limb amputated.
For patients who had to have a leg or two legs amputated due to diabetes they may only live another 2 years to 10 years at most.
But if the person is older as in 70 years old or older then their life expectancy can be lower than some younger person such as 30 to 50 years old who had amputation done for diabetes.
If you're young and just had amputation done because your legs or other limb could not be saved due to trauma then you might live a normal long life but sometimes complications can happen but it's rare.
Still if you need to have amputation done you can live longer usually than if you had not had the amputation done.
