Question: 1 / 400

What does the medical term "ostomy" refer to?

Creation of an opening

"Ostomy" refers to the creation of an opening, typically in the abdomen, for the elimination of bodily waste. This is typically done when the normal bodily function is not possible or safe, such as in cases of bowel or urinary issues.

The other options are incorrect because "inflammation of a joint" refers to "arthritis," "vision correction procedure" refers to "ophthalmology," and "partial removal of a bone" refers to "ostectomy." None of these terms have anything to do with creating an opening for waste elimination.
