Plural form of adenectomy; multiple surgical procedures to remove glandular tissue.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + '-ektomia' (surgical removal). The plural '-ies' ending indicates more than one such operation.
Historically, surgeons removed tonsils and adenoids in adenectomies so frequently for children that entire surgical specialties developed around making the procedure safer and faster!
