opérées

Opérées is a French term that translates to "operated on" or "undergone surgery" in English. It is commonly used in medical contexts to refer to patients who have had a surgical procedure. The term can be used as a past participle to describe a person who has received surgery, for example, "the patient opéré" (the operated patient). It can also be used as an adjective to describe a condition or state resulting from surgery, such as "une complication opérée" (a post-operative complication).

In French medical documentation, "opérée" is a standard term. It signifies that a medical intervention involving surgical techniques has been performed. The specific type of surgery, the date, and the outcome are typically detailed in the patient's medical record. The term is gendered in French; "opéré" is used for a male patient, and "opérée" for a female patient.

The use of "opérées" is not limited to human medicine. It can also be applied to animals that have undergone veterinary surgery. The general meaning remains consistent: a procedure involving incision or manipulation of tissues has been carried out. Understanding this term is important for anyone reading French medical reports or engaging with French healthcare professionals.
