In my mind surgery is any thing that requires one to be anesthetized and someone else taking sharp objects than digging into areas of the body that aren't even visible if your streaking. To me a knock out root canal does qualify.Define surgery.
I don't consider a root canal surgery.
Not sure MOHs is surgery.
Everything I have had to date was done on an outpatient basis including hernia repair
About to have an ablation, that will require my first hospitalization.
I've had 3 root canals, never been knocked out. A regular filling is more uncomfortable to me. But in all three cases the tooth was dead, they just cleaned out the tooth and filled the root canal.In my mind surgery is any thing that requires one to be anesthetized and someone else taking sharp objects than digging into areas of the body that aren't even visible if your streaking.

I don't get the joke/reference.How about a visit to Dr. Tianotti?
Had this done as a diagnostic, while I agree it was interesting, I didn't consider it to be surgery.Cardiac catheterization which can only be described as interesting.
Tie-A-Knoti ….same people refer to him as a doctor who performs vasectomiesI don't get the joke/reference.
I've had several surgeries over the years - partial thyroidectomy at age 25, pituitary adenoma removal age 40, pituitary adenoma remove age 49, varicose vein work
Also carpal tunnel (2), trigger finger (3), but those were done under local anesthesia and took 10-15 minutes each
You don't have to list them. 18 is a lot. Hope they were all helpful.About 18 if I counted correctly. I'd rather not list what they were.
They treated it like a surgery and I was put out in the sense that I was aware but not really. It was done in a regular operating room by a bunch of masked, scrub fashioned people with shiny instruments. I feel that regardless of the fact that it was outpatient anytime anyone has the job of putting things through the arteries and roam around the internal parts of my heart, I call it surgery.Had this done as a diagnostic, while I agree it was interesting, I didn't consider it to be surgery.
You can call it what you want ... as serious as the procedure was - I still don't think it rises to the level of surgery.They treated it like a surgery and I was put out in the sense that I was aware but not really.

Didn't say you had too. I do consider it a serious procedure with a higher possibility of having a very negative Oops outcome. Mine ended up on a positive note with no worrisome results, but I don't want to down play the reason for doing that search. Quite stressful in my mind.You can call it what you want ... as serious as the procedure was - I still don't think it rises to the level of surgery.

Glad for your outcome - i truly am - because that procedure actually carries a higher risk of triggering a stroke with that ooops, which is why the formality and number of attendees in an operating room setting (among other reasons like finding a blockage), and it's why they prefer the patient not to be completely under (or so I was told).Didn't say you had too.
