brain surgeries

Operations on minds

Brain surgeries is the plural of brain surgery—surgical procedures performed on the brain.

The singular often appears as a mass noun describing the field or type of operation: She's having brain surgery next week.

The plural emphasizes distinct procedures: He's undergone three brain surgeries since the accident.

The expression it's not brain surgery dismisses something as not particularly difficult.
