Stoma (medicine)
In medicine, a stoma (Greek - plr. stomata) is an opening, usually unnatural or surgically created, 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 begun with a prefix denoting the organ or area being operated on.
