Most likely a surgeon needs to be able to do basic trigonometry and arithmetic in order to make sure that ratios between body parts are correct and that joints have the proper angles to maintain proper body function. On top of this they may also need to be able to determine volumes of certain shapes when transplanting body tissue from one part of a body to the other.
