Original Question
There is an advertisement (at least, one), where it is stated that a new, 'bunyon', treatment, is better than the "old" way of, 'surgery'.
What type of fallacy is it when some, thing, is included in the argument that is not a real, or related thing, like this one?

1Saying that X is better than Y, simply because X is newer, would be the appeal to novelty.
Other than that...I can't really parse your post.

I might be missing the problem here, but stating one procedure is better than another is not fallacious. It could be false, and is certainly ambiguous (what does "better" mean?), but I see no fallacy.
