An operation is a planned activity or process done to achieve a result, such as a business activity, a military action, or the way a machine works. It also commonly means a surgical procedure done by a doctor.

用法与细微差别

Very common in formal and semi-formal contexts. Common collocations include 'perform an operation', 'business operation(s)', 'military operation', and 'in operation'.
