OK - so now you're teasing ...
'Surgery theory investigates the homotopy types of manifolds, using a combination of algebra and topology. It is the aim of these notes to provide an introduction to the more algebraic aspects of the theory, without losing sight of the geometric motivation.' Ranicki, 2001.
'IV. Surgery and the Fundamental Theorem
In this chapter we develop the techniques of surgery for constructing normal cobordisms and use them to prove the Fundamental Theorem. The ideas of surgery have their origins in the theory of 2-manifolds, in the process of "cutting off handles", and in general, in the theory of Marston Morse of non-degenerate critical points of differentiable functions.' Browder, 1972.
In Browder, care is mentioned over 150 times!
'Poincaré' that is.
