A surgical procedure in which the caecum or a portion of it is removed or excised.
From caecum + -ectomy (surgical removal). The compound term follows standard medical terminology combining anatomical terms with surgical procedures.
A caecectomy is a surgery that happens sometimes in cases of severe ulceration or cancer, and it's basically removing a part of your intestine that evolution hasn't even bothered to keep useful anymore.
