Perform surgery (7)

I believe the answer is:

operate

'perform surgery' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for operate that I've seen before include "Carry on business" , "effect" , "Carry out surgery" , "Manage, run" , "Act in a theatre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Telegraph, The Star Tribune, The New York Times, The Independent and The Irish Times.
