A surgical procedure involving reconstruction or reshaping of tissue under anaerobic (oxygen-poor) conditions.
From Greek 'an-' (without) + 'aero' (air) + 'plasty' (from 'plassein' meaning to form or mold). The suffix '-plasty' is standard in surgery, as seen in rhinoplasty, arthroplasty, and other surgical terms.
While anaeroplasty is rarely used in modern medicine, it represents an important historical phase in surgical innovation when doctors were testing whether operations could succeed without maintaining strict oxygen availability.
