List of surgical proceduresFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surgical procedures have long and possibly daunting names. The meaning of many surgical procedure names can
often be understood if the name is broken into parts. For example in gastrectomy, "ectomy" is a suffix meaning the
removal of a part of the body. "Gastro-" means stomach. Thus, gastrectomy refers to the surgical removal of the
stomach (or sections thereof). "Otomy" means to cut into a part of the body; a gastrotomy would be to cut into, but
not necessarily remove, the stomach. And also "pharyngo" means pharynx, "laryngo" means larynx, "esophag"
means esophagus. Thus, "pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy" refers to the surgical removal of the three.
The field of minimally invasive surgery has spawned another set of words, such
as arthroscopic or laparoscopic surgery. These take the same form as above; an arthroscope is a device which
allows the inside of the joint to be seen.
List of surgical terms[
Essentially all medical terms, mostly Latin and Greek, can be combined to name a surgery. Here is a list of
commonly used prefixes and suffixes:
Prefixes
angio- : related to blood vessels
arthr- : related to a joint
bi- : two
colono- : related to large intestine colon
colpo- : related to the vagina
cysto- : related to the bladder
encephal- : related to the brain
gastr- : related to stomach
hepat- : related to the liver
hyster- : related to the uterus
lamino- : related to the lamina (posterior aspect of vertebra)
lapar- : related to the abdominal cavity
Etymology actually refers to soft, fleshy part of abdominal wall. The term celio- is probably more accurate
and used in America.
lobo- : related to a lobe (of the brain or lungs)
mammo- and masto-: related to the breast
myo- : related to muscle tissue
nephro- : related to the kidney
