    Surgical tech? I was only in surgery one day. I know the circulating RN, surgical tech, and another RN counted and recounted the tools before and after surgery. I believe it was the surgical tech that was handing the tools to the surgeon during the surgery (it was an implant).

    However, during the other surgery (to remove a tumor in the bladder) there was a circulating nurse and another OR nurse. No surgery tech for that one. The 2nd surgery was just an I&D and it was a circulating nurse, another person who I believe was a nurse but I am not sure, and a resident along with an attending.
