A "cerrah" is a Turkish term for a surgeon, a medical professional who specializes in performing surgical procedures. Surgeons are trained to diagnose and treat various conditions through operations, which may involve cutting into the body to repair or remove tissues, organs, or other structures. They often work in hospitals and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure patient safety and recovery. In addition to performing surgeries, a cerrah must also evaluate patients, discuss treatment options, and provide post-operative care. They may focus on specific areas of medicine, such as orthopedic surgery, which deals with bones and joints, or cardiovascular surgery, which involves the heart and blood vessels.
