Surgery

Surgery is a medical specialty that involves invasive procedures to treat diseases, injuries, or deformities by physically altering body tissues. Surgeons are trained professionals who perform these operations with precision and care.

Types of Surgery:

• Elective Surgery: Planned procedures that are not urgent but are done to improve a patients quality of life.
• Emergency Surgery: Unplanned surgeries performed immediately to save a patients life or prevent further complications.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Techniques that use small incisions, specialized tools, and cameras for less scarring and quicker recovery.

Common Surgical Procedures:

1. Appendectomy: Removal of the appendix.
2. Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus.
3. Cholecystectomy: Removal of the gallbladder.
4. Joint Replacement: Surgery to replace damaged joints with artificial ones.

Before undergoing surgery, patients are typically briefed on the procedure, risks involved, and expected outcomes. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and individual health factors.
