'''Surgery''', is a medical procedure which involves cutting and restitching of [[tissue]]s.<ref>http://www.merck.com/mmhe/sec25/ch301/ch301a.html</ref> Traditionally, surgery was performed by cutting the tissue with a scalpel, and later closing the tissue with stitches. Today, however, [[Laser Surgery]] cuts the skin using a laser, and some wounds are closed without stitches.

There are three types of necessary surgery: emergency, urgent, and elective. Emergency surgery is extremely urgent, and minutes count. Urgent surgery is still quite urgent, but can be put off for a few hours. Elective surgery can be put off for some time.

Plastic surgery is surgery which attempts to enhance the appearance of a person's body. Surgeons reshape parts of the body using surgery.<ref>http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/plasticandcosmeticsurgery.html</ref>

Dental surgery is surgery on the mouth or teeth. If a person's wisdom teeth are impacted, they may have them removed surgically. Gum surgery is also common, purposing to reshape or remove gum tissue.<ref>http://www.simplestepsdental.com/SS/ihtSS/r.WSIHW000/st.32576/t.32576/pr.3.html</ref>
