How does energy manipulation correlate to surgery may I ask ? In shikai, Benihime uses energy to attack and defend in a manner similar to a character from DBZ. In bankai, Benihime has the ability to restructure things (via stitching). Where's the link ?

Personally, the concept of stitching to restructure seems more suited to Shutara; she pretty much did the same thing in order to kill Nianzol Weizol.
