Surgical repair or suturing of the stomach and uterus.
From gastro- (stomach) + hystero- (uterus) + -rrhaphy (Greek raphia, suturing or sewing). This term describes a surgical procedure where both organs are repaired or sutured together or separately as part of one operation.
If a surgical accident damaged both the stomach and uterus during another operation, a gastrohysterorrhaphy might repair both organs in the same session. The -rrhaphy suffix literally means 'sewing'—it's a reminder that surgery is sometimes exactly like needlework on your body.
