    Abortions would depend on what type of abortion is being carried out. There isn't a single procedure.

    Osephegus could be ENT or general surgery depending on what's being done; bone surgery varies depending what it is that's being done; transplants would usually relate to a specialist in that field as there are rather a lot of things transplanted - a cornea is going to be a different surgeon to a liver.

    http://www.therobertsgroup.com/blog/ologists-a-quick-guide-to-physician-specialties may be of some help here but not every speciality has a surgical element and you can have situations where there are specialists who are not surgical - e.g. a neurologist and a neurosurgeon are generally different people.
