  • **Hemorrhoidectomy:** Surgical removal of severely prolapsed or thrombosed hemorrhoids.
  • **Appendectomy:** Surgical removal of the appendix, typically for acute appendicitis.
  • **Ostomy Creation (Colostomy/Ileostomy):** Creating a surgical opening in the abdomen to divert stool into a bag, sometimes temporarily or permanently, after bowel resection, for healing or permanent diversion.
