A surgical procedure in which the stomach wall is sutured or stitched, usually to repair an injury or wound.
From Greek 'gastro-' (stomach) + 'rhaphy' (stitching or suturing). Medical surgeons use this term to describe the act of suturing stomach tissue.
The stomach is actually one of the toughest organs in the body—its muscular walls and thick lining help it withstand both acidic digestive juices and minor injuries!
