Gastroenteritis
Is an inflammation of the stomach and small intestine.
For example, the term gastroenteritis combines two word roots with a suffix: when gastr/o (stomach) is joined with enter/o (small intestine), the combining vowel is used with gastr/o. The word root enter is joined to -itis without a combining vowel because this suffix begins with a vowel.
Neuroplasty
Is the surgical repair of a nerve.
Neur/o means nerve -plasty means surgical repair
