手術をする 30秒了解
- Meaning: To undergo surgery (as a patient).
- Usage: Common in medical contexts and personal health discussions.
- Key Distinction: Patient undergoes surgery, doctor performs it.
- Alternative: 手術を受ける (shujutsu o ukeru) - to receive surgery.
- Literal Meaning
- The verb する (suru) means 'to do', and 手術 (shujutsu) means 'surgery'. So, 手術をする literally means 'to do surgery'. However, in common usage, it specifically refers to the act of undergoing or performing surgery. When a person says they are going to 手術をする, they mean they are the patient who will be operated on.
- Contexts of Use
- This phrase is used in medical contexts, when discussing health issues, or when informing others about an upcoming medical procedure. It can be used by doctors, nurses, patients, or their families. The formality can vary depending on the situation and who you are speaking with. For instance, when talking to a doctor, you might use a more polite form, while when discussing with family, a more casual form might be used.
- Nuance
- While 手術をする can technically mean 'to perform surgery' (as in, a doctor doing it), in most everyday conversations, it implies the patient undergoing the procedure. Context is key to understanding the exact meaning. If someone says, '明日、手術をするんだ' (Ashita, shujutsu o suru n da), it almost always means 'I am going to have surgery tomorrow.' If a doctor says it, they might be referring to their own schedule of performing operations.
The doctor explained that I will need to 手術をする next week. (医者は来週手術をする必要があると説明しました。)
My grandmother is recovering well after she had to 手術をする. (祖母は手術をする必要があった後、順調に回復しています。)
- Grammatical Structure
- The phrase consists of the noun 手術 (shujutsu - surgery) followed by the particle を (o) and the verb する (suru - to do). This is a common pattern in Japanese where a noun is combined with する to form a verb phrase, such as 勉強をする (benkyou o suru - to study) or 運動をする (undou o suru - to exercise).
- Common Variations
- Depending on the politeness level, the verb する can change. For example, 手術をいたします (shujutsu o itashimasu) is a humble form used by doctors or medical staff when referring to their own actions, and 手術をなさる (shujutsu o nasaru) is an honorific form used when referring to someone of higher status undergoing surgery. However, 手術をする remains the most common and neutral form for general use.
The patient will 手術をする tomorrow morning. (患者は明日朝、手術をする予定です。)
- Basic Sentence Structure
- The most straightforward way to use 手術をする is by placing the subject before the phrase, often with the particle が (ga) or は (wa) to mark the subject. The object is typically the noun 手術 (shujutsu), followed by the particle を (o), and then the verb する (suru). For example: 私は手術をする (Watashi wa shujutsu o suru - I will have surgery).
- Indicating Time and Reason
- To provide more information, you can add temporal adverbs like 明日 (ashita - tomorrow), 来週 (raishuu - next week), or temporal clauses. Reasons for surgery can be expressed using particles like ために (tame ni - for the purpose of) or conjunctions like から (kara - because). For example: 病気のために手術をする (Byouki no tame ni shujutsu o suru - to have surgery due to illness).
- Passive Voice and Patient-Centric Language
- While 手術をする is active, in Japanese, the focus is often on the patient's experience. You might hear phrases like 手術を受ける (shujutsu o ukeru - to receive surgery), which is a more direct way to say 'to undergo surgery' and is often used interchangeably. However, 手術をする is very common and natural in everyday speech when referring to the patient's action of having surgery.
He decided to 手術をする to fix his knee. (彼は膝を治すために手術をすることを決めた。)
I have to 手術をする next month, so I'll be in the hospital for a while. (来月手術をすることになっているので、しばらく入院します。)
- Polite Forms
- In polite conversation (丁寧語 - teineigo), the verb する is conjugated to します (shimasu). So, you would say 手術をします (shujutsu o shimasu). For more formal or humble situations, especially when a doctor is speaking about their own actions, they might use いたします (itashimasu), making it 手術をいたします (shujutsu o itashimasu). When referring to someone else undergoing surgery in a respectful manner, you might use なさる (nasaru), leading to 手術をなさる (shujutsu o nasaru), although this is less common in everyday conversation compared to 手術をする or 手術を受ける.
The doctor recommended that she 手術をする as soon as possible. (医者は彼女にできるだけ早く手術をするよう勧めました。)
- Medical Settings
- This phrase is extremely common in hospitals, clinics, and doctor's offices. You'll hear it from doctors explaining procedures to patients, nurses discussing patient schedules, or administrative staff confirming appointments. For example, a doctor might say, '来週、〇〇さんの手術をします' (Raishuu, Marumaru-san no shujutsu o shimasu - We will perform surgery on Mr./Ms. XX next week), or a patient might tell a nurse, '明日、手術をするので、朝食は食べられません' (Ashita, shujutsu o suru node, choushoku wa taberaremasen - I will have surgery tomorrow, so I cannot eat breakfast).
- Conversations Among Friends and Family
- When someone is facing a medical procedure, they will often discuss it with their loved ones. You might hear, '実は、来月手術をするんだ' (Jitsu wa, raigetsu shujutsu o suru n da - Actually, I'm going to have surgery next month) or 'お父さんが手術をするから、心配だよ' (Otousan ga shujutsu o suru kara, shinpai da yo - My father is going to have surgery, so I'm worried).
- News and Media
- News reports about public figures undergoing surgery, or documentaries discussing medical advancements, will often use this phrase. For instance, a news anchor might report, '有名人が病気の治療のため、手術をする予定です' (Yuumeijin ga byouki no chiryou no tame, shujutsu o suru yotei desu - A celebrity is scheduled to undergo surgery for their illness).
The patient's family was informed that the surgeon would 手術をする this afternoon. (患者の家族は、執刀医が午後に手術をすることを知らされました。)
She told her friend, 'I'm nervous because I have to 手術をする next week.' (彼女は友人に「来週手術をするから緊張している」と言った。)
- Everyday Conversations
- Beyond explicit medical discussions, people might use this phrase when talking about their health or a friend's health. For example, 'My uncle had to 手術をする for his appendix' or 'My colleague is taking time off because she's going to 手術をする.' It's a common way to convey that a significant medical intervention is taking place.
- Confusing 'Doing' Surgery with 'Undergoing' Surgery
- The most frequent mistake for learners is assuming that 手術をする always means 'to perform surgery,' similar to how 'to do surgery' might be used in English. While technically correct in some contexts (e.g., a surgeon saying 'I will do surgery'), in everyday Japanese, especially when a person is talking about themselves or a family member, it means 'to undergo surgery.' For example, a patient saying '明日、手術をする' (Ashita, shujutsu o suru) means 'I will have surgery tomorrow,' not 'I will perform surgery tomorrow.' This distinction is crucial.
- Overusing Polite Forms
- While it's good to be aware of polite forms like 手術をします (shujutsu o shimasu), learners might overuse them in informal settings, making their speech sound unnatural. For casual conversations with friends or family, the plain form 手術をする is perfectly acceptable and often preferred. Conversely, using the plain form in a formal medical consultation might be considered impolite.
- Grammatical Errors with Particles
- Incorrectly using particles is another common pitfall. The standard structure is 手術 (shujutsu) + を (o) + する (suru). Learners might mistakenly use other particles like で (de) or に (ni) instead of を, or omit the particle altogether. For example, saying 手術でをする (shujutsu de o suru) or 手術をする (shujutsu suru) without the particle を would be grammatically incorrect in this context.
Incorrect: 私は明日、手術でをする。(Watashi wa ashita, shujutsu de o suru.) - Incorrect particle usage.
Correct: 私は明日、手術をする。(Watashi wa ashita, shujutsu o suru.) - I will have surgery tomorrow.
Incorrect: 医者は手術をする。(Isha wa shujutsu o suru.) - Ambiguous, could mean doctor performs surgery or doctor will have surgery.
More specific for doctor performing: 医者は手術を行う。(Isha wa shujutsu o okonau.) or 医者は手術を執刀する。(Isha wa shujutsu o shittou suru.)
More specific for patient: 患者は手術をする。(Kanja wa shujutsu o suru.)
- 手術を受ける (Shujutsu o Ukeru)
- This is a very common and direct alternative meaning 'to receive surgery' or 'to undergo surgery'. It is often used interchangeably with 手術をする when referring to the patient. It emphasizes the passive reception of the medical procedure.
Example: 彼は来週、心臓の手術を受ける予定です。(Kare wa raishuu, shinzou no shujutsu o ukeru yotei desu. - He is scheduled to undergo heart surgery next week.)
Comparison: While 手術をする is slightly more active in its phrasing (implying the patient's action of going through it), 手術を受ける is more explicitly passive, focusing on the patient as the recipient of the surgery. - 手術を行う (Shujutsu o Okonau)
- This phrase specifically means 'to perform surgery' or 'to conduct surgery'. It is used by medical professionals when referring to their actions.
Example: その外科医は難しい手術を行った。(Sono gekai wa muzukashii shujutsu o okonatta. - That surgeon performed a difficult surgery.)
Comparison: This is the direct opposite of undergoing surgery. It is used exclusively by the person carrying out the operation. - 執刀する (Shittou Suru)
- This is a more specialized term meaning 'to perform surgery' or 'to be the chief surgeon'. It carries a more formal and professional connotation.
Example: 彼はその手術の執刀医だった。(Kare wa sono shujutsu no shittou-i datta. - He was the chief surgeon for that operation.)
Comparison: Similar to 手術を行う, this is used by surgeons to describe their role in performing the surgery. It is more specific than 手術を行う and often implies leadership in the surgical team.
Alternative: The patient will 手術を受ける next week. (患者は来週、手術を受ける予定です。)
For doctors: The surgeon will 手術を行う at 2 PM. (執刀医は午後２時に手術を行う予定です。)

容易混淆的词
This phrase means 'to perform surgery' and is used by doctors. '手術をする' is typically used by the patient meaning 'to undergo surgery'. The context and speaker's role are key to differentiation.
'治療をする' means 'to treat' or 'to give treatment'. While surgery is a form of treatment, '治療をする' is broader and can include medication, therapy, etc. '手術をする' specifically refers to surgical intervention.
This is a more colloquial, loanword-based alternative to '手術をする', meaning 'to have an operation'. It's generally used in informal settings and by patients.

Formal/Medical— This means 'to suture' or 'to stitch up'. It refers to the process of closing the incision after the main part of the surgery is complete.

Medical Term容易混淆
Learners often assume 'suru' (to do) always means the subject is performing the action. This leads to confusion when the subject is the patient.
When a patient says '手術をする', they mean they are the one undergoing the procedure. It's akin to saying 'I'm having surgery'. When a doctor says it, it can mean they are performing it, but '手術を行う' is more explicit for performing. For patients, '手術を受ける' (to receive surgery) is also a clear alternative.
Patient: 明日、手術をするんだ。(Ashita, shujutsu o suru n da.) - I'm having surgery tomorrow. Doctor: 〇〇さんの手術を行います。(〇〇-san no shujutsu o okonaimasu.) - I will perform surgery on Mr./Ms. XX.
This is a very close synonym and often interchangeable with '手術をする' when referring to the patient.
'手術を受ける' (to receive surgery) is more explicit about the passive nature of the patient's role. '手術をする' can sometimes imply a more active 'going through' the experience. However, in most everyday contexts, they are used interchangeably by patients.
彼は来週、手術を受ける予定です。(Kare wa raishuu, shujutsu o ukeru yotei desu.) - He is scheduled to receive surgery next week. / 彼は来週、手術をする予定です。(Kare wa raishuu, shujutsu o suru yotei desu.) - He is scheduled to have surgery next week.
Both phrases involve 'surgery' and 'doing something', but the subject and nuance differ significantly.
'手術を行う' specifically means 'to perform surgery' and is used by medical professionals. '手術をする' is most commonly used by the patient to mean 'to undergo surgery'. Using '手術をする' when referring to a doctor's actions can be ambiguous.
The surgeon will perform the surgery. (外科医は手術を行う。) vs. I will have surgery. (私は手術をする。)
Surgery is a type of treatment, so 'chiryou o suru' can sometimes encompass surgery.
'治療をする' (to give treatment) is a general term for medical intervention, which can include medication, physical therapy, or surgery. '手術をする' is specific to surgical procedures. You might say '手術も治療の一環です' (Shujutsu mo chiryou no ikkan desu - Surgery is also part of the treatment), but you wouldn't say 'I'm going to give surgery' when you mean you are the patient.
この病気には、薬物療法と手術の両方の治療が必要です。(Kono byouki ni wa, yakubutsu ryouhou to shujutsu no ryouhou no chiryou ga hitsuyou desu. - This illness requires both drug therapy and surgical treatment.)
This is a casual, loanword-based synonym for '手術をする'.
'オペをする' is informal and derived from the English word 'operation'. It's commonly used in everyday conversation among friends or family when referring to having surgery. '手術をする' is more standard and can be used in a wider range of situations, including more formal ones.
Casual: 来月オペするんだ。(Raigetsu ope suru n da.) - I'm having an operation next month. / Standard: 来月、手術をする予定です。(Raigetsu, shujutsu o suru yotei desu.) - I am scheduled to have surgery next month.

Imagine a surgeon's **hand** (**手**) skillfully using a precise **technique** (**術**) to perform a delicate operation. The 'doing' part comes from the verb **suru** (to do), so 'hand technique doing' becomes 'to do surgery'.
视觉联想
Picture a pair of hands wearing surgical gloves, holding a scalpel, poised over a patient. The hands represent '手' (shu), and the act of wielding the scalpel precisely represents '術' (jutsu). The entire image signifies the action of 'doing surgery'.

挑战
Try to explain to a friend (in Japanese) that you need to have surgery next month. Use the phrase 手術をする and mention one reason why. For example: '来月、手術をするんだ。膝が痛いから。(Raigetsu, shujutsu o suru n da. Hiza ga itai kara.) - I'm going to have surgery next month. Because my knee hurts.'
词源
The word 手術 (shujutsu) is composed of two kanji characters. 手 (shu) means 'hand' or 'skill', and 術 (jutsu) means 'technique', 'skill', or 'art'. Together, they literally translate to 'hand technique' or 'skillful technique', which aptly describes the precise and skilled nature of surgical procedures.
原始含义： The characters suggest a skilled application of hands to perform a technique, focusing on the manual dexterity and expertise required.
Sino-Japanese (derived from Chinese characters)文化背景
Discussing surgery can be a sensitive topic. When speaking with someone who is about to undergo or has undergone surgery, it is important to be empathetic and avoid being overly casual or intrusive. Offering support and expressing well wishes is appropriate. In a medical setting, using polite language is essential.
In English-speaking cultures, the phrase 'to have surgery' is very common and directly implies undergoing the procedure. The distinction between 'having surgery' and 'performing surgery' is usually clear from context.
