Dentistry is the science concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the mouth and especially the teeth.

Anal Fistulectomy - removal of a tract between the anal canal and skin which is the result of an infection. The tract is opened and most packed with gauze, the incision left open to heal from the inside. Sometimes the wound is partially closed with a stitch.

Breast Biopsy - removal of tissue of the suspicious lesion or lump. The removed tissue is sent to the pathologist for diagnosis.

Hemorrhoidectomy - removal of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can be either external or internal. It is a varicose (dilated) vein which can cause bleeding and pain.

Hernia Surgery - Hernias are named by their site in the body. Examples are femoral, umbilical, ventral or incisional, and the most common type is inguina (groin). A hernia is a protrusion of a stucture, such as intestine or fat, through a weakened abdominal wall.
