  1. Abstract We study embedded spheres in 4–manifolds (2–knots) via doubly pointed trisection diagrams, showing that such descriptions are unique up to stabilisation and handleslides, and we describe how to obtain trisection diagrams for certain cut-and-paste operations along 2–knots directly from doubly pointed trisection diagrams. The operations described are classical surgery, Gluck surgery, blowdown, and (±4)–rational blowdown, and we illustrate our techniques and results with many examples.
