A surgical procedure involving removal of growths blocking breathing passages and sinuses. 1a. formal term for the phrase "ripping you a new one" 2. A surgical procedure to remove four hemorrhoids at the same time. 3. cuttting hairs, into four bits or lengths. Gimme the prize now 4. an ingenious use of semi-recursion in electronic chip design where 4 (tetra) gates (from greek pyli) are made to do the work of 8 (octo). 5. An exploratory surgical procedure involving four incisions in the pelvic area. 6. The removal of a third limb. 7. The surgical removal of one of a cow's four stomachs. 8.
