These procedures can be performed using various techniques, such as open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or robotic surgery. Some common examples of soft tissue surgery include appendectomy, cholecystectomy, mastectomy, liposuction, hernia repair, excisional biopsy, lumpectomy, and radical surgery. While these procedures can be complex and challenging, they can also be life-saving treatments for many patients. If you are considering soft tissue surgery, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

- Joint replacement surgery: A procedure to replace a damaged joint with an artificial joint.
- Fracture repair: Repairing broken bones using casts, splints, or surgery.
- Arthrodesis: Fusing a joint to immobilize it.
