Surgery is a clinical medical discipline that studies surgery as the main treatment method, covering the diagnosis of diseases, surgical operations, perioperative management and postoperative rehabilitation. The course focuses on cultivating "surgical thinking" and "precise operational skills", enabling students to master the surgical indications for surgical diseases, the selection of surgical methods, the prevention and treatment of complications, and multidisciplinary collaboration strategies. It also equips students with the clinical ability to independently complete basic surgical operations (such as debridement and suture, appendectomy) and participate in complex surgeries (such as radical gastrectomy, coronary artery bypass grafting)
