Final answer:

Tracheotomy, hysterectomy, and herniorrhaphy are procedures done for curative purposes, treating conditions like obstructed airways, endometriosis, and hernias, respectively. Gastroscopy is diagnostic, and rhinoplasty is generally cosmetic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The procedures that are done for curative purposes are tracheotomy, hysterectomy, and herniorrhaphy.

  • Tracheotomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening in the trachea to allow air to enter the lungs.
  • In the context of endometriosis, a hysterectomy may be performed where all or part of the internal reproductive organs are removed, and it is the only procedure likely to cure endometriosis and prevent relapses.
  • Herniorrhaphy, also known as hernia repair, is a surgical operation for the correction of a hernia - a bulging of internal organs or tissues through the wall that contains it.

Gastroscopy and rhinoplasty do not usually have curative purposes. Gastroscopy is a diagnostic procedure that involves inserting a camera to examine the upper GI tract, while rhinoplasty is typically performed for cosmetic reasons.
