WHAT DOES BIOSURGERY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Maggot therapy

Maggot therapy is also known as maggot debridement therapy, larval therapy, larva therapy, larvae therapy, biodebridement or biosurgery. It is a type of biotherapy involving the introduction of live, disinfected maggots into the non-healing skin and soft tissue wound of a human or animal for the purpose of cleaning out the necrotic tissue within a wound and disinfection. It was long believed that the debridement was selective on necrotic tissue, but new literature has questioned that belief. A recent clinical study in France showed non-selectivity of maggot action as wound surface increased over treatment.

Definition of biosurgery in the English dictionary

The definition of biosurgery in the dictionary is the use of live sterile maggots to treat patients with infected wounds.
