"Treatment objectives necessitating surgery" But I am not happy with it. If anybody can help. I can'T really come up with a word for verrichting. It's really more like identifying a certain specialization, I understand.

Notes to answerer
Asker: yeah, you are right, sorry, surgery got in by mistake, Word stalled, and I couldn't paste it in, so I typed it. But the whole text is about clinicalal/polyclinical surgery, more or less. Thanks.
