surgical trauma

Surgical trauma refers to the physical injury caused by an operation, including cuts, incisions, or tissue disruption made during the procedure. While surgeries are designed to treat or repair medical issues, they inherently involve intentional injury to the body’s tissues. The body responds to this trauma with inflammation and healing processes. Proper surgical techniques aim to minimize tissue damage, reduce complications, and promote swift recovery. Although some discomfort or temporary impairment may occur afterward, surgical trauma is typically controlled and necessary to improve overall health or function.
