What is the plural of meatus?

Meatus is the Latin plural. Apparently, meatus or meatuses can be correct in English. "...the plural of meatus remains meatus in Latin or becomes meatuses in English..."

This appears to be one of those things that is changing over as doctors use it (correctly or incorrectly). Docs say meatuses per my personal experience.
