Surgery is an invasive medical specialty that uses interventional techniques on a patient to investigate and treat a pathological condition such as a disease or injury. It may also be used to improve bodily function, appearance, or to repair ruptured areas. A procedure is typically considered surgical when it involves cutting of tissue or closure of a previously sustained wound. Other procedures that do not necessarily fall under this definition are angioplasty or endoscopy, but they may be considered surgery if they involve common surgical procedures or settings, such as use of a sterile environment, anesthesia, antiseptic conditions, typical surgical instruments, and suturing or stapling. The overall surgical market has been negatively impacted by the pandemic as many procedures have been deferred due to more urgent concerns and restricted patient movement. More specifically, this was equipment targeted for use in cardiology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, most imaging modalities, and non-COVID diagnostics in general. As surgical intervention is a critical area of patient care, growth is expected to return in the near-term to mitigate long-term consequences from disease progression.
