Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An anastomosis is a surgical procedure in which two structures are connected or stitched together. In the case of an esophagogastrostomy, the esophagus (the tube that connects the throat to the stomach) is connected to the stomach via an anastomosis. This is typically done after removing part of the esophagus due to cancer or other diseases. The other options (colostomy, appendectomy, colectomy) do not involve anastomosis.
