Craniotomy is removal of a part of the skull
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
FALSE
Explanation: The combining form crani/o refers to the skull. The suffix -tomy means "incision or to cut." The correct suffix for "excision" is -ectomy as in craniectomy. One easy way is to remember that ectomy means "excision" (see how they both start with an e?). The suffix -tomy means "incision or to cut," and this meaning does not start with an e.
