The majority of planned surgery across north Wales this week has been postponed due to "increased pressure".
Wrexham Maelor hospital, Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor and Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan are affected, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board says.
Urgent operations and day surgery will continue, and eye and orthopaedic surgery at Abergele Hospital.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford described the decision as "regrettable" but "sensible and proportionate".
The health board said a rise in emergency health care had led to significant pressures on its A&E departments.
