Surgical removal of abdominal muscle tissue.
From Greek koilia (belly) + mys (muscle) + ektome (excision). Medical terminology systematically combines root words where 'ectomy' always means surgical removal.
When doctors do surgery, they use '-ectomy' like a code word for 'we're cutting this out'—combine it with any body part and you know what's being removed!
