What is the def. of surgery?

Surgery is a medical specialty that involves the use of operative techniques to diagnose, treat, or manage various conditions, diseases, injuries, or deformities. It typically involves making incisions in the body to access internal structures and may include procedures such as excisions, repairs, or transplants. Surgeons perform these procedures in a sterile environment, often in a hospital setting, and they may use anesthesia to minimize pain and discomfort for the patient.
