Performing surgical procedures involves a series of steps carried out by medical professionals, primarily surgeons. These procedures are designed to diagnose, treat, or prevent medical conditions by physically altering body tissues. Common types of surgeries include appendectomies, knee replacements, and heart bypass surgeries. Before surgery, patients undergo assessments to ensure they are fit for the procedure. Anesthesia is administered to manage pain, and sterile techniques are used to minimize the risk of infection. After the surgery, patients are monitored during recovery to ensure proper healing and to address any complications that may arise.
