I have been trying to find a word in the medical dictionary and I can't find it anywhere. I am wondering if it evens exists. The word is Monohemilipocranicentesis, I need to find out just what it is I know that the words mean:
Mono- one or single
Hemi- half or partly
Lip- fat or lipid
Crani- cranium or skull
Centesis- surgical punture for removal of fluid

but I can't figure out what the procedure would be called. I was wondering if you can help me out?

Thanks for your help,
Trish
