intraoperative
Within the operation
Intraoperative means occurring during a surgical procedure: intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative monitoring.
The term appears in medical contexts to distinguish events or interventions that happen while a patient is on the operating table from those before (preoperative) or after (postoperative) surgery.
