A surgical operation that anchors or fixes the intestines to prevent them from moving or becoming twisted.
From Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'pexis' (fixation). This is the modern anglicized form of enteropexia, commonly used in contemporary surgical terminology.
Enteropexy fixes prolapsed intestines—imagine an accordion that's fallen out of its case and refuses to go back in; the surgeon simply stitches it firmly back where it belongs to prevent future escapes.
