Aseptic surgery definition

Aseptic surgery means procedures performed under conditions free of pathogenic micro- organisms.
Aseptic surgery means the technique used when everything that comes in contact with the wound is sterile and precautions are taken to ensure such sterility during the pro- cedure. These precautions include, but are not limited to, such things as the surgery room itself, sterilization proce- dures, scrubbing hands and arms, sterile gloves, caps and masks, sterile long-sleeved gowns, and sterile draping and operative techniques.
