Usually English will try to come up with a single, Latin-or-Greek-derived word for compound ideas like this, which is another bad habit.
So surgery is full of -ectomies instead of -cut-outs.

Medicine terms in German also use Latin or Greek, since this is the subject language, so this is a bad example.
