Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment involves a doctor, called a surgeon, performing a procedure to diagnose, repair, or remove part of the body. It can be done to fix injuries, remove diseases like tumors, or correct health problems. The surgeon makes an incision—an opening in the skin—and carefully works inside the body using specialized tools. Advances in technology have made surgeries safer and less invasive, often using smaller cuts or even guiding procedures with cameras. Overall, surgery aims to improve health, restore function, and promote healing, typically under anesthesia to prevent pain during the process.
