surgical repair
Fixing through operation
Surgical repair is a medical procedure that restores damaged tissue or organs through surgery.
The term appears in clinical contexts to describe operations that fix rather than remove: surgical repair of a hernia, surgical repair of a torn ligament.
It emphasizes restoration over excision.
