Surgery is a medical specialty that uses operative and manipulative techniques on a patient to investigate or treat a pathological condition such as a disease or injury, or to help improve bodily function or appearance. The term surgery comes from the Greek words "cheir" meaning hand and "ergon" meaning work, so "surgery" literally means "hand work". Modern surgery is a combination of art and science.

There are many different types of surgery, categorized by the purpose or the body part involved. Common categories include general surgery, which deals with a wide range of abdominal conditions, and orthopedic surgery, which focuses on the musculoskeletal system. Other specialties include cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery. Surgeries can be elective, meaning they are planned in advance, or emergency, which are performed immediately to save a life or limb.

The process of surgery typically involves preparation, anesthesia, the surgical procedure itself, and recovery. Anesthesia is used to manage pain and consciousness during the operation. Surgical procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques, using small incisions and specialized instruments, to open surgeries requiring larger incisions. Post-operative care is crucial for healing and preventing complications. Advances in technology, such as robotic-assisted surgery and improved imaging techniques, continue to enhance the safety and effectiveness of surgical interventions.
