Plural of anastomosis; the connections or openings created between two vessels, channels, or parts that were previously separate.
Greek plural form of anastomosis, from ana- (back/up) and stoma (mouth/opening). Refers to the natural or surgical joining of tubes or vessels.
Surgeons exploit natural anastomoses when they perform bypass surgery—instead of creating brand new pathways, they redirect blood through existing connections in your body.
