early surgery
Dawn medical procedure
Early surgery refers to surgical intervention performed sooner rather than later in the course of a condition or injury—typically within hours or days of diagnosis rather than weeks.
The term implies timing relative to disease progression: Early surgery for appendicitis prevents rupture.
In medical contexts, early surgery often contrasts with watchful waiting or conservative treatment approaches.
