Who is a "surgeon"?
A surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in performing operations, known as surgeries, to treat injuries, diseases, and deformities. Surgeons are trained to carry out a wide range of procedures, from minor to complex operations, often focusing on specific fields such as general surgery, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, or cardiovascular surgery. Surgeries typically involve making cuts in a patient's body to manipulate tissues for repair, removal, or replacement of damaged areas. Surgeons also provide care before and after surgery, making sure that patients are well-prepared for the operation and are properly recovering afterward.
Examples
