意味
To undergo a surgical procedure.
文化的背景
Health insurance (Krankenkasse) is mandatory, so 'eine Operation haben' usually involves no direct cost to the patient, which is a common topic of conversation. It is common to use the title of the doctor when discussing an operation, showing respect for the medical hierarchy. The term 'Spital' is used instead of 'Krankenhaus'. So you have an operation 'im Spital'. Privacy is valued, but once a surgery is mentioned, it is polite to ask 'Ist es etwas Ernstes?' (Is it something serious?) and wish 'Gute Besserung!'.
Use the short form
In casual conversation, just say 'OP' (O-Pee). It sounds very natural and native.
Gender matters
Always remember 'Operation' is feminine. Using 'einen' or 'ein' will sound very wrong to native ears.

Preposition 'am'
When in doubt, use 'am' + body part. It covers 90% of cases (Knie, Rücken, Kopf, Herz).
The 'Gute Besserung' rule
If someone tells you they have an operation, you MUST say 'Gute Besserung'. It's the most important social rule here.
