Ever wanted to know what a medical/surgical word means? The ending of the word can clarify exactly what surgeons do. See this image below.

examples:
"Cholecystectomy": cutting out the gallbladder
"Colostomy": opening up the colon (bringing it out of the skin)
"Enterotomy": cutting into the small intestine
