Which procedure involves creating a hole that is typically surgically closed?

The procedure defined by creating a hole that is typically surgically closed is known as "otomy." This term refers specifically to the surgical act of making an incision or opening into a structure of the body, such as “tracheotomy,” which is an incision into the trachea. Following the procedure, the created opening is often closed surgically or may be intended to heal over time, depending on the context of the surgery performed.

In contrast, the term "plasty" refers to the surgical reconstruction or repair of a tissue or organ, often without specifically implying the creation of an opening. "Abrasion" generally refers to a technique for removing surface layers of skin or tissue, not creating an opening. "Anemia" is a medical condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, and does not pertain to a surgical procedure at all.
