Aseptic surgery is surgery without "sepsis" or infection.
It is doing surgery using precautions that lower the presence of micro-organisms in order to avoid infections such as draping, gloves and gowns, masks, and using sterilized instruments.
The appropriate aseptic technique differs depending on the situation. For surgery this includes steps such as: Shaving the area of hair and disinfecting as well as a surgical scrub to make sure anyone touching the equipment is sterile.
