Surgical removal of cilia or ciliary structures from the body.
Formed from 'cilia' (Latin plural of cilium, meaning eyelash) combined with '-ectomy' (Greek -ektomē, meaning cutting out or removal).
This is an incredibly rare surgery, performed only when cilia become dangerously dysfunctional. The fact that we named such a specialized operation shows how important doctors consider these tiny hair-like structures to be for human health.
