1. Major Surgery:

Major surgery typically refers to a significant operative procedure that often involves anesthesia and may require hospitalization or an extended recovery period. Examples include cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, abdominal surgery (such as for removal of tumors or organs), orthopedic surgeries (like joint replacements), and other complex procedures.

Patients undergoing major surgery usually require careful pre-operative assessment, preparation, and post-operative care due to the invasive nature of the procedure and potential impact on the body’s systems.

2. Minor Surgery

Minor surgery typically refers to medical procedures that are relatively simple, minimally invasive, and usually performed on an outpatient basis without the need for a hospital stay. These procedures are often done in a clinic, doctor’s office, or ambulatory surgical center.

Examples of minor surgeries include:

• Removing warts or moles
• Repairing superficial skin lacerations
• Draining abscesses or cysts
• Inserting or removing small devices, like contraceptive implants or catheters
• Biopsies of superficial tissues
• Dental procedures like tooth extraction or root canal therapy

Although termed “minor,” these procedures still require medical expertise and adherence to sterile techniques to minimize risks and ensure patient safety. Recovery times can vary but are generally shorter compared to major surgeries. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific information related to any planned medical procedures.
