A stoma (plural stomata, from Greek στόμα "mouth") is an opening, either natural 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 begin with a prefix denoting the organ or area being operated on.
En romano palatino: conectar un conducto con el exterior. Por ejemplo, la boca es un estoma. Pero se puede crear uno quirúrgicamente. Imagina, @Slavin, las fotos de qué son, de los naturales o de los quirúrgicos.
