Explanation:

2.81

To form the term for surgical repair of a muscle, we use the root "my/o" (muscle) and the suffix "-plasty" (surgical repair). Combining them gives "myoplasty".

For muscle pain, we use the root "my/o" (muscle) and the suffix "-algia" (pain). Combining these gives "myalgia".

To describe an abnormal condition of the stomach, we use the root "gastr/o" (stomach) and the suffix "-osis" (abnormal condition). Combining them gives "gastrosis".

Answer:

myoplasty
