German term
United States
im OP
While patient is an inpatient, the phrase "im OP" appears twice:
"Es erfolgte in regelmäßigen Abständen die Wundrevision mit Wechsel der Jodoform-gaze im OP."
"Am [Datum] erfolgte eine letztmalige Wundinspektion im OP sowie Durchführung einer sekundären Naht."
I know "OP" is normally short for "operation" or surgery but I don't think that quite fits here. Also, patient is inpatient during this period, unless these procedures were done as an outpatient even though he was in the hospital -- I'm not familiar with the German hospital system.
Appreciate any help, maybe "OP" means something completely different here.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I wouldn’t call it "theatre", as an auditorium is not sterile. Asepsis is essential for surgery. Even your Wikipedia reference contradicts your 1st proposal. See my excerpts.

Björn Vrooman
: As you said, operating theatre is the British word (and it's not outdated): http://harmfreecare.org/wp-content/files_mf/Improving-qualit... As has been pointed out, your 2nd option "operating room" is the US term.

: I would call it an operating theatre. That's the term used in GB. An operating *room* sounds like a makeshift arrangement.

operating room
https://www.dict.cc/?s=Operationssaal
Operating rooms are spacious, easy to clean, and well-lit, typically with overhead surgical lights, and may have viewing screens and monitors. Operating rooms are generally windowless and feature controlled temperature and humidity. Special air handlers filter the air and maintain a slightly elevated pressure. Electricity support has backup systems in case of a black-out. Rooms are supplied with wall suction, oxygen, and possibly other anesthetic gases. Key equipment consists of the operating table and the anesthesia cart. In addition, there are tables to set up instruments. There is storage space for common surgical supplies. There are containers for disposables. Outside the operating room is a dedicated scrubbing area that is used by surgeons, anesthetists, ODPs (operating department practitioners), and nurses prior to surgery. An operating room will have a map to enable the terminal cleaner to realign the operating table and equipment to the desired layout during cleaning.

"operating theatres" are part of universities or colleges for medical students, but very uncommon in normals hospitals:
Historically, the term "operating theatre" referred to a non-sterile, tiered theater or amphitheater in which students and other spectators could watch surgeons perform surgery. Contemporary operating rooms are devoid of a theater setting (though some in teaching hospitals may have small galleries), making the term "operating theater" a misnomer for the modern facility.
:
While operating theaters are no longer used for surgery, some still exist. One of the oldest surviving operating theaters is the Old Operating Theatre in London. Built in 1822, it is now a museum of surgical history. Another theater still exists at the University of Padua, in Italy, inside Palazzo Bo. It was commissioned by the anatomist Girolamo Fabrizio d'Acquapendente in 1594. Another famous operating theater is the Ether Dome in Boston. Built in 1824, it is now a conference room and tourist attraction. Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia also boasts its own surviving operating theater, built in 1804
