surgical examination

A surgical examination involves a healthcare professional assessing a patient's physical condition to determine the nature of an issue that may require surgery. It includes a thorough review of medical history, a physical exam focusing on the affected area, and possibly diagnostic tests. The goal is to gather enough information to diagnose the problem accurately and plan the appropriate surgical intervention if needed. This process helps ensure that surgery is truly necessary and tailored to the patient's specific condition, promoting safety and effective treatment outcomes.
