A surgical procedure to reshape or repair damaged intestinal tissue, often to widen narrowed sections or close holes.
From Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'plastos' (molded or formed, from 'plassein' meaning to shape). The '-plasty' suffix in surgery means reshaping or reconstructing an organ.
Enteroplasty is surgical sculpting of the intestines—surgeons literally reshape and rebuild damaged gut tissue the way a sculptor might restore a broken statue, and this technique has saved countless patients with damaged or narrowed bowels.
