There are many different types of surgery, each with its own purpose and procedure. Here are some of the most common types:

• Open surgery: This is the traditional type of surgery, where a large incision is made to access the surgical area.

• Robotic surgery: This type of surgery uses a robotic system to perform the surgery. The surgeon controls the robot from a console, and the robot's arms move with greater precision than a human surgeon's hands.
