Surgery

Surgery is an invasive technique employed to treat medical conditions inside the body untreatable by traditional medicine. Surgery could be anything as benign as having a tooth pulled, to stitches, to multiple by pass heart surgery, when veins are removed from parts of the leg and used to bypass clogged arteries and veins around the heart. Plastic surgery begun as a way to treat patients maimed by war or accidents, but has since developed into the augmentation of breasts and the removal of unwanted fat.
