Gandhi is not the first name that vegans might think of as helping to launch the movement, and yet he did, on November 20, 1931, in London to be precise. He didnât call it âveganâ of course, but it wasnât long before others came up with the word to describe what he was talking about.
The suffix -ostomy means to surgically create an artificial opening or stoma. A colostomy is a surgical creation of an opening between the colon and the body surface. The root word colo means colon. The suffix -otomy means âsurgical cutting into,â or a surgical incision. In order, then, to perform a tracheostomy (the surgical creation of an opening in the trachea), a tracheotomy (the surgical incision into the trachea) must be performed.
One well-known form of an artificial stoma is a colostomy, which is a surgically created opening in the large intestine that allows the removal of feces out of the body, bypassing the rectum, to drain into a pouch or other collection device. The historical practice of trepanation was also a type of stoma.urgical 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. In anatomy, a natural stoma is any opening in the body, such as the mouth.
