Surgery
In medicine, surgery (from the Greek meaning "hand work") is the medical specialty that treats diseases or injuries by operative manual and instrumental treatment. Persons described as surgeons are commonly medical practitioners, but the term is also applied to dentists and veterinarians.
The term surgery can also refer to the place where surgery is performed, or simply the office of a physician, dentist, or veterinarian.
