意味
To have a medical surgical procedure performed on one's body.
文化的背景
The French healthcare system is highly centralized. When someone says they 'subissent une opération', it often implies it's happening in a 'clinique' (private) or 'hôpital' (public), with the latter being the standard for major surgeries. In Quebec, the influence of English can sometimes lead to 'avoir une opération', but 'subir' remains the mark of a well-educated speaker in formal settings. Belgian French is very similar to Hexagonal French in medical terminology. 'Subir' is the standard formal term used in Brussels' hospitals. In Swiss French, precision is valued. 'Subir une opération' is used strictly for surgical procedures, while 'subir un traitement' is used for non-surgical medical care.
The Surgeon Rule
Always remember: Surgeons 'pratiquent' or 'font', patients 'subissent' or 'se font opérer'.
Avoid 'Avoir'
While 'avoir une opération' is understood, it sounds like a translation from English. Use 'subir' to sound like a C1 speaker.

The 'Billard' Idiom
Use 'passer sur le billard' if you want to sound like a native in a casual setting, but only if the surgery isn't life-threateningly serious.
