手術によって
解説 Definition
病気やけがを、薬だけでなく手術という方法で治療・除去することを表す副詞です。腫瘍を取り除く、骨折を直す、臓器を修復するなど、医師が手術を行う文脈でよく使われます。
Surgically means that a disease, injury, or body part is treated, repaired, or removed by surgery. It is used when doctors use an operation, not only medicine, to solve a medical problem. Common uses include surgically remove, surgically repair, and surgically treat. The word focuses on surgery as the method of treatment.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
surgically は surgery（手術）から考えると覚えやすい語です。surgery に形容詞語尾 -al が付いて surgical（手術の、外科の）、さらに副詞語尾 -ly が付いて surgically（手術によって）になります。よく出る組み合わせは surgically remove, surgically repair, surgically treat です。単に「正確に」という意味ではなく、体を切開するなどの医療処置を方法として用いる点に注目しましょう。別エントリの「外科的に」は、外科のように精密な様子を表す用法として区別できます。
Think of surgically as coming from surgery. First, surgery becomes surgical, and then adding -ly gives surgically. This can help you remember common phrases like surgically remove, surgically repair, and surgically treat. Focus on the idea of using an operation as the method, not simply doing something very precisely.
例文

その腫瘍は先週、手術によって取り除かれた。

外科的に
(意味 2)解説 Definition
医学的に正確で、医学的方法によってという意味の副詞。手術や医療処置が正確に行われる様子。
Surgically means in a way that involves surgery or medical cutting into the body. It can also mean with extreme precision, when something is done very carefully and exactly.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
この「外科的に」は、surgically の基本義「手術によって」とは別に、外科手術のように精密で、狙った部分だけを扱う様子を表す用法として覚えるとよいです。surgical precision（外科手術のような精密さ）という発想から、surgically precise, surgically targeted のように「余計な部分を傷つけず、必要な所だけに手を入れる」感覚が中心です。単なる carefully よりも、切り分けるような正確さが強く出ます。
Build it as a word chain: `surgery` -> `surgical` -> `surgically`. That makes it easy to remember as an adverb connected with cutting or removing something very precisely. Think of phrases like `surgically remove` or `surgically precise`, and do not confuse it with similar-looking adverbs like `seriously`.
例文
The tumor was surgically removed with precision.
腫瘍は正確に手術で取り除かれた。
Surgically treating the injury prevented long-term complications.
手術的に怪我を治療することは長期的な合併症を防いだ。
The procedure was handled surgically to restore function.
その処置は機能を回復するために手術的に対処された。
精密に
(意味 3)解説 Definition
比喩的に、必要な部分だけを非常に正確に扱う様子を表す語です。批判・修正・削減・分析などで、狙いを絞って無駄なく的確に行うというニュアンスで使われ、外科の場面に限りません。
Surgically means in a very exact, targeted way, as if only the necessary part is being touched. It is often used not only for real medical operations but also in a figurative way for criticism, editing, cuts, or analysis that remove or address only what is needed. Compared with simply saying precisely, surgically often suggests cutting out, fixing, or isolating one specific part without affecting the rest.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
surgically は surgery（手術）→ surgical（外科の）→ surgically（外科的に）と形をつなげて覚えると定着しやすい。核は「メスで狙った所だけを正確に処置する」感覚で、ただの precisely よりも“切る・取り除く・一点を狙う”ニュアンスが強い。surgically remove a tumor, surgically precise のような組み合わせで覚えると、医療場面だけでなく「無駄をピンポイントで除く」比喩用法にも広げやすい。seriously など見た目が近い副詞と取り違えないこと。
Remember the word as a chain: surgery -> surgical -> surgically. The core image is a surgeon using a knife to treat only the exact spot that needs attention, so surgically often feels stronger and more targeted than precisely. Phrases like surgically remove a tumor or surgically precise can help you remember both the medical sense and the figurative idea of removing only what is unnecessary. Be careful not to confuse it with similar-looking adverbs like seriously.
例文
The surgeon surgically removed the tumor without damaging the surrounding tissue.
外科医は周囲の組織を傷つけずに腫瘍を精密に取り除いた。
The editor surgically cut the weakest scenes from the film.
編集者は映画の最も弱い場面だけを狙って精密に削った。
She responded surgically to each point in the report, fixing only the parts that were wrong.
彼女は報告書の各点に対して、間違った部分だけを精密に直した。
