A pneumonotomy is a cut into the lungs. This term is frequently used when lung surgery is involved. Pneumonotomy is also known as pneumotomy. Pneumonotomy comes from the Greek word "pneumon" meaning "lung," and the Greek word "otomy" meaning "incision." Put the words together and you have "lung incision."
