La palabra cirugía se aplica a la disciplina médica que se ocupa de la curación mediante operaciones, por lo que se recomienda no emplearla como sinónima de operación o intervención quirúrgica. [...]en el ámbito de la cirugía plástica, para la operación se emplean las expresiones cirugía plástica y cirugía estética, según se trate, que es una práctica aceptada en el Diccionario académico, pero se recomienda que este uso se restrinja a este campo específico y no se extienda a las intervenciones quirúrgicas en general. 2, record 1, Spanish, - operaci%C3%B3n
