Surgery
Surgery is a medical treatment where doctors, known as surgeons, use special tools to make changes inside your body. This can involve repairing something that's damaged, removing disease, or improving how a body part functions. It's typically performed under some form of anesthesia, to prevent you from feeling pain. Surgery can range from minor procedures that require small cuts, or incisions, to major operations which involve opening up a large part of the body. It's an important part of healthcare involved in diagnosing, treating, and preventing various conditions.

Surgery is a medical procedure that involves the operation on a patient's body to diagnose, treat, or prevent health issues. It often requires cutting into the skin or other tissues to access internal structures, such as organs. Surgeons, specialized doctors trained in this field, perform surgeries for various reasons, including removing tumors, repairing injuries, or correcting deformities. Anesthesia is used to ensure the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. Surgery can be done as outpatient, where patients go home the same day, or inpatient, requiring a hospital stay for recovery.
