👉 A radectomy is a surgical procedure in which the entire body of an animal is removed, including its internal organs and tissues. This can be used to treat conditions such as cancer or severe trauma. The term "radectomy" was introduced by Sir Henry Thayer in 1858 in his work on anatomy. It refers to the removal of the organs that are not needed or that do not contribute to a person's overall health, often for medical reasons. Radectomies
