A medical or surgical technique involving piercing or puncturing using a thread-like or fine needle instrument.
From Latin 'filum' (thread) and 'punctura' (puncture), describing a delicate piercing procedure, though this is a rare or specialized medical term.
This obscure medical word combines Latin roots to describe precision needle work—it's exactly the kind of technical vocabulary that allows doctors to be incredibly specific about what they're doing inside the human body.
