They have non-sterile people working in the operating room, too. You just have to be very careful not to touch anything that is sterile. They will probably have you wear scrubs and slippers. My scrubs have always had big pockets that are handy for holding film. I concentrate on not distracting the doctors in any way. Move slowly and quietly. I carry 3 M's with various lenses and try not to have to change lenses. There will be plenty of light. As Ted will say, "Watch their eyes. That's where the photos are." Good luck and have fun!
