Total intravenous anesthesia
Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is a general anesthetic technique in which anesthesia is induced and maintained entirely with intravenous drugs, conventionally propofol with remifentanil, without any inhalational agent.
Total ionizing dose
Total ionizing dose is the cumulative energy deposited in a material by ionizing radiation, measured in rads, that gradually degrades electronics in spacecraft and nuclear environments.
Total iron-binding capacity
Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is a blood test measuring how much iron serum proteins, mainly transferrin, can bind; high in iron deficiency, low in inflammation, liver disease, or iron overload, interpreted with serum iron and ferritin.
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is a minimally invasive operation removing the uterus and cervix entirely with laparoscopic instruments through small abdominal incisions, first performed in 1988 by Harry Reich.

Total lung capacity (TLC) is the lung gas volume at maximal inspiration, about 6 liters in healthy adults. Measured by plethysmography, gas dilution, or CT; reduced TLC defines restriction, elevated TLC indicates hyperinflation in COPD.
Total lymphoid irradiation
Total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) is a radiation therapy technique delivering small, fractionated doses to the lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus, originally developed for Hodgkin's disease and now used rarely in transplant conditioning.
Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation
Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) is a targeted radiation therapy used before stem cell transplantation, irradiating bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes while sparing other organs.
Total marrow irradiation
Total marrow irradiation (TMI) is an intensity-modulated radiation therapy technique that targets the entire skeleton while sparing organs, developed as an alternative to total body irradiation for conditioning before stem cell transplantation.
Total mastectomy
Total mastectomy, also called simple mastectomy, is an operation removing the entire breast, including the nipple, areola, and skin, while leaving the axillary lymph nodes and chest muscles in place.
Total mesorectal excision
