The definition matches with "Lysis of adhesions", which is a surgical procedure performed to remove adhesions from the body.

Answer: A
 The Nissen fundoplication is a procedure performed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where the upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophageal sphincter to strengthen it and prevent acid reflux.

Answer: C
 Appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix, typically performed in cases of appendicitis.

Answer: G
 TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) procedure is a surgical procedure where a shunt is created between the portal vein (which carries blood from the intestines to the liver) and a vein in the liver, to relieve high blood pressure within the liver caused by cirrhosis or other conditions.
