All Surgical Procedure

Treatments performed as an operation: a defined surgical technique carried out on the body. Belongs here: Caesarean Section, Cataract Surgery, Hip Replacement Surgery and Organ Transplantation. Does not belong here: Trepanation, an ancient cranial surgical practice grouped under historical and premodern treatment practice because its significance here is chiefly historical rather than as a technique in current use, or the anesthesia and antiseptic technique that support an operation without being the operation itself, grouped under perioperative and anesthetic care.
