In medicine, a
stoma is an opening, either natural or surgically created (artificial), which connects a portion of the body
cavity to the outside environment. Surgical procedures in which stomata are created are ended in the suffix '-
ostomy' and begin with a prefix denoting the
organ or area being operated on.
