Hello,
I was just really wondering what hospitals and vet hospitals did with body parts after surgery (like when a person has a kidney removed, or appendix, or when animals have surgery and have something done)

What do they do with them?

All body parts removed during surgery are submitted in formalin to the pathology lab for analysis. The parts are sliced diced or otherwise evaluated. When done, these may be disposed of as bio-hazardous waste. These parts are not particularly dangerous since the formalin kills just about anything. Limbs like an arm or leg are sent to a funeral home for cremation, unless the person is Native American and wants their family to bury the limb according to their traditions.
I don't know about animals, but animal hospitals probably have a similar procedure.

properly, if any of the above issues got here approximately to my horse it would virtually harm me. that's complicated even answering this as this is now not fairly the section I opt to experience approximately. If such factor did happen to my horse, i might rather call the vet out and function him humanly euthanized. i does not choose my first-fee chum to be in any soreness. i might have attempt to have him buried someplace. A concern resembling a pasture because of the incontrovertible fact that he cherished to be exterior grazing. i might generally also have a small stone made along with his become responsive to and such important factors engraved on it. he's my first horse, so he will consistently be the main diverse horse i'm going to ever very own. final time I lost puppy (even nonetheless a horse is much better than in user-friendly terms a puppy) it became as quickly as my cat while i became as quickly as in 1st grade. I cried each and each night and consistently wanted i might rewind time merely faux it became as quickly as a nightmare that i might awaken from. i think if it have been my horse I had to bury, the emotional problems may be lots worse. i may be an absolute ruin. Of direction, I haven't any thought precisely how i'm going to respond to the shortcoming of existence of my horse even nonetheless, i'm specific there'll probable be crying and melancholy for a whilst, even nonetheless there'll probable be a small piece of me that's satisfied considering i understand he isn't suffering any added. i understand those concerns happen and that that's existence, even nonetheless that doesn't mean it does not be tough. I won't ought to recover from it, even nonetheless i understand i'm going to ultimately ought to get on with my existence and that i will't mourn continuously. My chum might constantly have a place in my heart nonetheless. i'm fortunate to have such robust friends and enjoyed ones so if this have been to happen, i understand i might constantly be counted on their help. that's in no way good to be by ability of myself for the time of those varieties of circumstances. upload: i've got by no ability fairly thought with regard to the euthanasia being painful or terrifying. If a bullet to the best became what became speedy and painless...i might probable go with that.
