What is the objective of curative procedures?

The objective of curative procedures is to remove disease. These procedures are specifically designed to eliminate the underlying cause of an illness or condition, effectively treating the disease itself rather than just managing or alleviating its symptoms. Examples of curative procedures include surgeries to excise tumors, procedures to repair organ dysfunction, or treatments that eradicate infections. The successful execution of a curative procedure not only targets the disease but also aims to restore the patient’s health to a pre-disease state, making it a fundamental aspect of medical practice when the goal is full recovery.

Enhancing recovery, alleviating symptoms, and investigating conditions may be relevant in other contexts but are not the primary focus of curative procedures.
