chirurgii

Chirurgii refers to surgeons, medical professionals who perform operative procedures and to the surgical field that organizes care around operative treatment. Surgeons diagnose conditions that require operation, plan and execute procedures, and manage postoperative recovery in collaboration with other health professionals.

Becoming a surgeon typically begins with a medical degree, followed by residency in surgery; many countries also require board certification or a subspecialty fellowship. Training covers anatomy, physiology, sterile technique, perioperative care, and patient communication. Subspecialties include general surgery, orthopedic, cardiovascular, neurosurgical, urologic, plastic and reconstructive, pediatric, ENT, thoracic, and transplant surgery.

Procedures range from routine to complex, high-risk operations. Modern practice emphasizes minimally invasive methods—such as laparoscopy, endoscopy, and robotic-assisted surgery—supported by imaging and navigation technologies. Postoperative care focuses on pain control, infection prevention, recovery planning, and patient safety.

Historically, surgery advanced with the development of anesthesia, antisepsis, aseptic technique, and innovations in suturing, instrumentation, and organ transplantation. In many health systems, surgeons work within hospitals and clinics as part of multidisciplinary teams and are guided by professional standards, ethical guidelines, and ongoing education.
