To the person who repeatedly searches this blog for the word “oblation” and/or “oblation surgery”, I’d like to share the following:

  • The only occurrence of the word ‘oblation’ on my blog is in the comments section of this post.
  • ‘Oblation’ in that case is a misspelling of the word ablation, meaning 1. Surgical excision or amputation of a body part or tissue.
  • ‘Oblation’ actually does have a meaning, but it’s not medical: 1. The act of offering something, such as worship or thanks, to a deity.

I’ll leave it to you whether this means you should worship your surgeon.

(Also know as Uterine Oblation).
