{{See also|General surgery}}
"Open surgery" is any surgical procedure where the [[Surgical incision|incision]] made is enough to allow the surgery to take place. With tissues and structures exposed to the air, the procedure can be performed either with the unaided vision of the surgeon or with the use of [[loupe]]s or [[microscopes]]. Some examples of open surgery used are for [[spinal disc herniation|herniated disc]] commonly called a "slipped disc",  and most types of [[cardiac surgery]] and [[neurosurgery]].{{medical citation needed|date=July 2015}}
