chirurgici

Chirurgici is the plural masculine form of the Italian adjective chirurgico, meaning relating to surgery. It is used to describe instruments, procedures, departments, or teams associated with surgical care. Examples include strumenti chirurgici (surgical instruments), reparti chirurgici (surgical departments), and procedure chirurgiche (surgical procedures). The feminine forms are chirurgica (singular) and chirurgiche (plural); the masculine singular is chirurgico.

The term derives from Latin chirurgia, from Greek cheirourgia, meaning hand work, reflecting the manual character of surgery. In medical usage, chirurgico is used to distinguish surgical from non-surgical aspects or contexts; people who perform surgery are usually referred to as chirurghi (surgeons), not chirurgici.

Chirurgici is commonly found in clinical notes, textbooks, device labeling, and hospital documentation to denote items or concepts related to surgery. Its precise meaning is determined by the surrounding noun it modifies, ensuring clear distinction between surgical and non-surgical fields within medical language.
