microsurgeries
Minute surgical procedures
Microsurgeries is the plural of microsurgery—surgical procedures performed under magnification using specialized instruments, typically on very small structures like blood vessels, nerves, or the eye.
The term covers both the field and individual operations: She's had three microsurgeries on her hand since the accident.
