Surgery is strictly medical, whereas operation can be used in other context, such as to denote a plan. For example, military plans are often called "Operation: Codename".

The matter is that I was doing a test and chose "operation", whereas the right variant was "surgery":
The doctor told Bill that he needed SURGERY on his arm.

@DanNov I have been thinking about how best to describe the difference. Surgery refers to the overall process, such as brain surgery, or saying that one requires surgery. It's usually uncountable. Operation, on the other hand, refers to one specific surgical procedure and is always countable. So while you wouldn't say "I need an operation on my arm" (which one imply one specific procedure and doesn't make sense in this context), you can say "I need surgery on my arm." (note that there is no article, since surgery is uncountable). An example context using both would be something like: "He was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery. An operation was performed to remove his appendix." Sorry for the late answer!
