Questions not for the feint of heart
Thaumologist:
lightsaber.
Or failing that, something hot and sharp. You need to ensure the "patient" is heavily sedated, as too much stimulation of any nerve is going to cause shock.
If you have a while, just go inch by inch. That way the blood loss at one point should be controllable, and the nerves would become desensitised, so sloppy work could be more forgiven.
But still, cauterise EVERYTHING
Aakaakaak:
Thinking about this a bit more....
I remember that liposuction is limited to a maximum of 10% body mass at a session. Anything more threatens shock and can cause death. The legs probably would have to be done piece by piece.
On the more grotesque end of things:
(click to show/hide)I wonder if you could get away with separating the artery from the thigh of the inner leg (while still keeping it intact) and tying off all the lose ends to prefent blood loss. Then severing the leg high up on the thigh...or would that cause a pooling of blood issue?

You are most disturbing.
Sihaya:
Aak, have you tried some more antique treatises on surgery? I think you're starting to get into a grotesque version of something that an anatomist might have done in days of yore, like putting a window into an animal's stomach or periodically surveying an internal wound heal through an incision. For all I know, somebody really tried to see what happened to a (possibly four legged) body when a femoral artery or vein was isolated.

antique??? We have several cows that are out on pasture perfectly content to eat away their lives with the window, hand scoop for samples of the various stomachs. Quite modern and up to date! he he
And aak3, I agree. I'm never going to search through your garbage with the FBI! Yuck! The melon baller also leaves the eyeball in tact... so much more fun to taunt the other eye that is still working. Now I'm getting myself grossed out. I'm sure I stole that idea from Ludlum or someone! Maybe it was a Mission Impossible so they could use it for retina scan? It's not original.
