Medicine includes the process by which the <a href="/wiki/Cell_(biology)" title="Cell (biology)">cells</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Human_body" title="Human body">body</a> regenerate and repair to reduce the size of a damaged or <a href="/wiki/Necrosis" title="Necrosis">necrotic</a> area and replace it with new living tissue. The replacement can happen in two ways: by <i>regeneration</i> in which the necrotic cells are replaced by new cells that form "like" tissue as was originally there; or by <i>repair</i> in which injured tissue is replaced with <a href="/wiki/Scar" title="Scar">scar tissue</a>. Most <a href="/wiki/Organ_(anatomy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Organ (anatomy)">organs</a> will heal using a mixture of both mechanisms.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Within <a href="/wiki/Surgery" title="Surgery">surgery</a>, healing is more often referred to as recovery, and postoperative recovery has historically been viewed simply as restitution of function and readiness for discharge.
