Surgery
Surgery (from the Greek: χειρουργική cheirourgikē (composed of χείρ, "hand", and ἔργον, "work"), via Latin: chirurgiae, meaning "hand work") is a medical specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques on a patient to investigate or treat a pathological condition such as a disease or injury, to help improve bodily function or appearance or to repair unwanted ruptured areas.

Harvey Cushing, American surgeon, Letter to Henry Christian (November 20, 1911)
Surgery
Vulnera, quae melius non tetigisse fuit.
Some wounds grow worse beneath the surgeon's hand;'Twere better that they were not touched at all.
Surgery
Surgery is the red flower that blooms among the leaves and thorns that are the rest of medicine.
