Surgical teams are the groups of medical professionals who work together during operations.

A typical team includes surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical nurses, each with distinct roles that require precise coordination.

The phrase emphasizes collective function over individual skill: The surgical team worked for twelve hours to separate the conjoined twins.
