Surgery uses invasive procedures to treat and cure pathological conditions and aesthetic problems. It cannot be linked to organs or organ systems, but deals with all parts of the body. Thanks to technical advances, some of the previous open exploration surgeries can be performed endoscopically, which is much less stressful for the patient, with faster, less complicated healing.
