Operator (theatre)

An operator in theatre refers to a skilled medical professional, typically a surgeon or a specially trained physician, who performs surgical procedures to treat illnesses, injuries, or conditions. Their role involves planning the surgery, making precise incisions, and ensuring the patient's safety throughout the operation. They use specialized tools and techniques, often in a sterile environment, to effectively address medical issues. The term can also describe the person managing or controlling the technical aspects of a surgical or theatrical production, but in a medical context, it primarily denotes the surgeon.
