I really want to see this page be a bit more detailed. I work in an OT, and I know that others who come here also work in OT's. I think that we could work together and make this page encompass many facets of a modern OT. Qpeedore 16:48, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Do people in america use the term operating "theater" much? Joeyramoney 00:21, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Clearly, there are two articles here. In the US, and Operating room (OR) is the place in a modern hospital where surgeries are performed; it is also called surgery center, and in the UK is an Operating theatre. A second artice would the the one that is here, the historical place where 19 century surgeons performed surgery before an audience, like the Ether Dome.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page as suggested. Personally, I (American) have never heard anyone say "operating theater", but I know that WP:ENGVAR enjoys strong consensus support. - GTBacchus( talk) 06:56, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Operating theater →
Operating Room — The term operating theater has a very specific meaning in non-Commonwealth nations (and Canada), referring very specifically to open, amphitheater like structures where surgery was preformed before an audience prior to the introduction of the sterile technique and the use of anesthetics. (See
Ether Dome for an example). The term operating room is used with near total exclusivity in non-Commonwealth nations, including Canada, and is understood in Commonwealth nations to mean a sterile room where surgery is preformed. However, in the rest of the world, operating theater refers specifically to a non-sterile amphitheater used until the early 20th century. I am aware of
WP:SPELLING which states that when national varieties of English are used on culturally neutral pages, the initial variety is default, but I believe that
WP:COMMONNAMES would apply here, or at least
WP:TITLE which states that non-ambiguous titles should be used.

This article has several confusing aspects, dating back to these changes in 2008. Specifically:
Obviously, if this article was about the thing that American's call an operating theater than I'd be talking rubbish, but if that were the case, then why does operating room redirect here? Arguably we should just revert to the previous version... but a more sensible idea might be to see if we try to merge the two. I'll have a look at that when I'm feeling less frazzled.

The article currently contains a figure with a caption that reads:
> Operating room lights are meant to suppress any shadows so that the surgeons have consistent and uniform lighting while doing procedures. The surgical light in the picture is the most advanced on the market. Thanks to double reflection technology, an improved version of indirect light, the lamp is able to provide light without any glare: the main cause of failure or error during procedures.
Emphasis mine. Both the bold sections feel like ad copy, and need citation at very least. 24.53.246.195 ( talk) 12:51, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
