Types of Surgeons (Surgery)

Closer look at the types of surgeons you could assist:

Diagnostic procedure – it is performed to find out the origin and cause of the injury / disease, e.g. breast biopsy, knee arthroscopy, reconnaissance laparoscopy
Therapeutic treatment – a form of therapy, cures by removing the cause of the disease, e.g. mastectomy, hysterectomy,
Healing treatment – improves patient’s functioning e.g. knee prosthesis, finger reimplantation
Palliative procedure – it aims to reduce symptoms and slow down the disease process, but it is not curative, e.g. tumor excision, colostomy
Cosmetic procedure – carried out to change or improve the patient’s appearance, e.g. scar revision, liposuction, skin transplantation

elective procedure – the patient knew about him and could prepare for it, an urgent problem that does not threaten life, e.g. cataract removal, hip replacement,
urgent procedure – requires prompt intervention, the patient will be in a life-threatening condition if the procedure is delayed, e.g. appendicitis, stones in the urinary tract, intestinal obstruction
emergency / emergency – requires immediate intervention due to life-threatening consequences, e.g. gunshot, stab wound, heavy bleeding

low risk surgery – a procedure without significant risk, often performed under regional / local anesthesia e.g. skin suturing, haluxy,
high risk surgery – a procedure during which serious health complications may occur, usually longer and more complicated, e.g. mitral valve replacement, lymph node excision

simple procedure – applies only to tissues that are explicitly affected by the lesion, e.g. partial mastectomy
radical – surgery extended to tissues in which the disease process is not yet visible, but leaving them may cause future disease, e.g. radical mastectomy

clean – there is no contact with inflammatory changes or the room cord light opens. respiratory, urinary, female genital drugs, e.g. orthopedic, ophthalmic, neurosurgery
clean, contaminated – opening of the cable room light steering. respiratory, urinary tract without major infection, e.g. gynecological operations, appendicitis
contaminated – significant contamination with gastrointestinal content, contact with acute non-inflammatory lesions, e.g. open fresh traumatic wounds, open fracture,
dirty – contact with purulent inflammatory lesions, e.g. room perforation, old traumatic wounds
