Surgery is a field in which qualified surgeons use tools (metal implements such as scalpels) or lasers to make incisions in the patient’s body. They do this so that they can get inside the body and fix any problems there with surgical manipulation. They try to repair or replace organs, tissues, and other body parts. Surgery can be risky, but if successful, it helps the patient improve his/her quality of life.
Surgery procedures are the required actions that a surgeon must undergo before operating on the patient. These include such things as sterilizing the operating room and getting into sterilized scrubs, preparing all tools and implements, and gathering the necessary nurses, technicians, and other surgical staff.
Surgical pathology is a field in which anatomical pathologists study specimens that have been surgically removed from the patient (i.e. through biopsy) in order to understand the nature of the disease contained in the sample. They may study the sample using microscopes to analyze its unique molecular structure.
Surgeons may operate in order to treat a number of conditions; they can perform complex surgical procedures to help ease patient suffering. Surgery has been used for medicinal purposes for a long time; surgeons must be highly trained in all of the evolving technologies of surgery so that they can operate safely and effectively.
Therapeutic radiology is a field of medicine in which radiologists seek to use the medical imaging technologies for medicinal, rather than diagnostic, purposes. This means that they apply the same CT scan or x-ray technology to the patients in the hopes that the radiation will help ease their pain.

Thoracic surgery is a field that focuses on treating diseases that affect organs inside the chest (thorax). Thoracic surgeons also treat lung, chest wall, and diaphragm conditions. Sometimes thoracic surgery is grouped with cardiac surgery (a.k.a. cardiothoracic surgery).

Toxic inhalation occurs when the patient is exposed to dangerous levels of harmful airborne chemicals. If the exposure is extended, it can have severe and even dire consequences on the patient’s respiratory and pulmonary systems. Physicians should aim to quarantine infected individuals to decrease exposure to the toxin as well as isolate it so that others are not exposed.
Transplant surgery is a surgical specialty in which physicians replace a patient’s diseased or failing organs with healthy organs donated by a deceased patient (or, donated by patients who do not need them, as in the case of an extra kidney). Depending on the patient’s condition, transplants surgeries can be risky but ultimately life-saving.
