Surgery[a] 

is a medical or dental specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques
on a person to investigate or treat a pathological condition such as a disease or injury, to help
improve bodily function, appearance, or to repair unwanted ruptured areas.
The act of performing surgery may be called a surgical procedure, operation, or simply "surgery".
In this context, the verb "operate" means to perform surgery. The adjective surgical means
pertaining to surgery; e.g. surgical instruments or surgical nurse. The person or subject on which the
surgery is performed can be a person or an animal. A surgeon is a person who practices surgery
and a surgeon's assistant is a person who practices surgical assistance. A surgical team is made up
of the surgeon, the surgeon's assistant, an anaesthetist, a circulating nurse and a surgical
technologist. Surgery usually spans from minutes to hours, but it is typically not an ongoing or
periodic type of treatment. The term "surgery" can also refer to the place where surgery is
performed, or, in British English, simply the office of a physician,[1] dentist, or veterinarian.
