A surgical procedure involving folding or plicating the colon, usually to reduce its size or treat certain conditions.
From Latin 'colon' (colon) and 'plicare' (to fold). This is a medical term combining anatomical and procedural terminology, used in surgical contexts.
Coloplication is a drastic surgery where doctors literally fold your colon like an accordion to make it smaller—it's used when nothing else works for megacolon, and recovery is intense.
