Definition: Anthropotomy is a surgical procedure to remove diseased tissue, often through incisions in the skin or muscles. It's used to treat conditions that cause pain or discomfort from damaged skin layers (anaphylaxis). The term "anthropotomy" comes from the Greek แผฯฮฝฮฟฯ ("anthro-") meaning "from," and ฯฯฮดฮนฮฟ ("pro-die"), which means "in."
