surgical technique
Incision and repair
Surgical technique refers to the specific methods, procedures, and manual skills a surgeon employs during an operation.
The term encompasses everything from how incisions are made to how tissue is handled and sutures are placed.
Different surgical techniques may achieve the same goal: The surgeon preferred a minimally invasive technique over the traditional open approach.
Technique also implies individual skill and refinement: Her surgical technique was impeccable.
