In medical terminology this all depends on what type of surgery you are talking about.

The word surgery is broken down all by itself as surg/o- meaning operative procedure and -ery meaning process of.

The suffix -ectomy refers to a surgical excision or removal of. Any combining form can go with this word to provide a meaning for anytime of removal surgery that can be performed.

Also, The suffix -tomy means process of cutting or making an incision. Like I said it all depends on what type of surgery you are referring to. The suffix -stomy refers to a surgically created opening. The suffix -rrhaphy refers to procedure of suturing.
