Medical (general)
surgery
Laparotomy and resection to collect a specimen for histzo examination.
From the Surgical protocol:
"Es erfolgt nun die Đurchtrennung der Darmlumina mit dem GIA und Abwurf des Praeparates."
What is the meaning of Abwurf here?
I don't think that it means to "discard".

Handing off
Hi everybody,
"Abwurf" in this context of an operation means "handing off" the specimen/biopsy/swab (and the like) to the circulating nurse for pathology/microbiology etc. As I retired surgeon I have dictated that in my reports thousands of times. "Abwurf" is not the same as "Bergen", which would be removal/extraction/collection. In a different phase of the operation it could also refer to the scrub nurse "dropping" things sterile onto the instrument table. But in terms of the present question it refers to handing off for pathology etc.

German term (edited):
Abwurf
removal / extraction / collection
... of the (tissue) sample
Note, though, that I am still unsure about it - this is medicalese at its best ;-)

The "Präparat" could also just be the excised/surgically removed bowel segment, rather than a "sample".

ADD: I've only just seen that you'd mentioned "specimen" in the context already, so my first thought seemed to go in the right direction.

Brent Sørensen
: I was thinking along the same lines but didn’t have enough time to research it. Maybe “excision” could work as well?

Yes, this seems to be a distinct possibility, too.
