Breast
The breast is one of two prominences located on the upper ventral region of the torso of primates. In females, it serves as the mammary gland, which produces and secretes milk to feed infants. Both females and males develop breasts from the same embryological tissues. At puberty, estrogens, in conjunction with growth hormone, cause breast development in females.
Surgery
Surgery (from the Greek: χειρουργική cheirourgikē (composed of χείρ, "hand", and ἔργον, "work"), via Latin: chirurgiae, meaning "hand work") is a medical specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques on a patient to investigate or treat a pathological condition such as a disease or injury, to help improve bodily function or appearance or to repair unwanted ruptured areas.

Surgery is the red flower that blooms among the leaves and thorns that are the rest of medicine.
Richard Seltzer, American physician, Letters to a Young Doctor (1982)

I would like to see the day when somebody would be appointed surgeon somewhere who had no hands, for the operative part is the least part of the work.
Harvey Cushing, American surgeon, Letter to Henry Christian (November 20, 1911)

Vulnera, quae melius non tetigisse fuit.
Some wounds grow worse beneath the surgeon's hand;'Twere better that they were not touched at all.
