In this talk, I will describe an excision construction for 3-manifolds and explain how (twisted) Heegaard Floer theory can be used to obstruct 3-manifolds from being related via such constructions. I will also discuss how the excision formula can be applied to compute twisted Heegaard Floer homology groups for specific 3-manifolds obtained by performing surgeries on certain links, including some 2-bridge links.
