Morphology

surgical + operation

The meaning is directly compositional: 'surgical' specifies the type of 'operation' as a medical procedure, so a learner who knows both words can reliably infer the full meaning. This modifier+noun pattern for medical procedures is common cross-linguistically, making the phrase immediately understandable to B1 learners.

Etymology

Surgical operation may come from old words that mean 'hand' for surgical and 'to work' for operation. So the phrase gives a clear picture of a doctor using their hands to work on the body, and that's why it means 'a medical procedure' where a doctor cuts or fixes parts of the body.
