surgery,

n work performed by a surgeon.

surgery, access flap in osseous,

n a full-thickness or split-thickness flap created for the purpose of gaining access to the alveolar bone when surgical remodeling is indicated.

surgery, apically repositioned flap in mucogingival,

n a surgically created flap of gingival tissue that is repositioned apically to maintain or create a functionally adequate zone of attached gingiva. In the surgical procedure the existing attached and free gingiva is detached by employing a reverse bevel incision and apically repositioning the flap.

surgery, cosmetic,

n surgery whose purpose is to improve external appearance rather than general health.

surgery, first-stage,

n See surgery, stage-one.

surgery, full flap in mucogingival,

n a flap in which all the soft tissue elements are raised and repositioned, as opposed to the split-thickness flap.

surgery, mucogingival,

n surgical procedure designed to retain a functionally adequate zone of gingiva after surgical pocket elimination, create a functionally adequate zone of attached gingiva, alter the position of or eliminate a frenum, or deepen the vestibule.

surgery, oblique flap in mucogingival,

n an increased band of attached gingiva created by preparing a narrow papillary flap (to avoid donor site radicular recession), which is then rotated 90° and sutured into the prepared recipient site.

surgery, osseous,

n the therapeutic surgical measures used and designed to eliminate osseous deformities by means of ostectomy or osteoplasty or create a favorable environment by means of meticulous removal of the soft tissue contents of the infrabony osseous defect for the formation of new bone, periodontal membrane, and cementum to fill in the area of bone resorption.

surgery, pedicle flap in mucogingival,

n an increased band of attached gingiva created to repair a cleft by using proximal gingiva situated mesial and distal to the cleft, because gingiva in either location alone is not wide enough to cover the cleft if repositioned. The pedicles are repositioned laterally and sutured. Also called a
double papilla procedure.

surgery, second-stage,

n See surgery, stage-two.

surgery, stage-one,

n a surgical procedure in which an endosseous two-stage implant is placed in the bone and the soft tissue over the implant is sutured closed to allow osseointegration of the implant before the abutment and prosthesis are attached; also known as
first-stage surgery.

surgery, stage-two,

n a surgical procedure in which the soft tissue over a submerged implant is removed in order to place an abutment into the implant; also known as
second-stage surgery.

the collection of instruments, wrapped, sterilized and ready for use in the majority of uncomplicated surgical procedures. The choice of instruments may vary from one surgeon to another, but generally there are tissue forceps, thumb forceps, sponge forceps, hemostats, towel clamps, scalpel handle and needle holder. Scissors and needles may be added after cold sterilization.

bench surgery

cold steel surgery

that performed with traditional cutting instruments; to distinguish from cryosurgical and electrosurgical methods.

cosmetic surgery

performed to improve the appearance, or change the appearance, of the animal; surgery that is not necessary for the health of the animal. Other than ear cropping and tail docking, where performed, generally discouraged or considered unethical for animals as it is usually done for purposes of improving their appearance in the show ring or to disguise traits that might be heritable.

elective surgery

surgery carried out at a time convenient to client and surgeon. The opposite of emergency surgery. Distinctly different to cosmetic surgery.

experimental surgery

that carried out as part of a planned experimental protocol, usually on animals selected specifically for the purpose and which are often sacrificed afterwards. Increasingly, use of animals in this way is under the control of institutional or governmental authorities.

plastic surgery

that concerned with the restoration, reconstruction, correction or improvement in the shape and appearance of body structures that are defective, damaged or misshapen by injury, disease or anomalous growth and development.

replacement surgery

transplanting of tissues or organs from another host. Not commonly undertaken in veterinary surgery.

Patient discussion about surgery.

Q. What are the risks in a gastric bypass surgery for weight loss? I am obese and I am interested in doing this surgery, but I’m scared. What are the risks of this surgery?

A. The resulting weight loss in gastric bypass surgery is typically dramatic, and markedly reduces co-morbidities of obesity. However, complications are common and surgery-related death occurs within one month in 2% of patients. As in any type of abdominal surgery there is the risk of developing an infection and sepsis, venous thrombosis, hemorrhage, hernia, bowel obstruction and leak from the gut. This particular surgery puts the patient in danger also for mineral and nutritional losses.

Q. What types of gastric bypass surgeries are there? I heard all sorts of options for gastric bypass are available. What is the most in use?

A. Bariatric surgeries or – gastric bypass surgeries for weight loss fall into three categories: Restrictive procedures make the stomach smaller to limit the amount of food intake, malabsorptive techniques reduce the amount of intestine that comes in contact with food so that the body absorbs fewer calories, and combination operations employ both restriction and malabsorption. The exact one to be done should be decided with the physician according to each patients abilities and pre-operative function level.

Q. Should I have eye laser surgery? I am 17 and have been wearing glasses since I was a kid. I was thinking of having an eye laser surgery in order to fix my eyesight. What are the risks?
