When doctors or healthcare professionals question their patients about previous operations they always say something like, "have you had any surgeries performed". Describing such a thing as a performance adds a rather comical spin to something potentially sensitive like a triple heart bypass. A family doctor phrases it as a performance, so whats to say the surgeon doesn't address it as such.
Maybe the word performance is an escape for surgeons who find their profession fuller with each passing day. It could make the day pass more quickly if they imagine the integration of musical numbers into their daily operations. Surgery Live: The Musical is what you might bill it as, tickets range in price depending on your health plan and coverage.
They might give off the impression that they are actors to unsuspecting acquaintances when they drop it in conversation. To humble themselves while talking to a more middle-class annual income-d friend for example, it might be beneficial to lead them astray. For this reason there are probably surgeons sitting in coffee shops catching up with old college pals who dash out saying, "sorry I've got to get going, I have a performance at four". Who knows, maybe they just call it a matinee.
