Chinese term or phrase: 手术领台医生
Although I don't have a very clear idea of what this term actually means, I personally believe that this term refers to a physician participating in an operation in an operating table. May someone give me a clearer explanation of this term?

I would refrain from using HEAD SURGEON, it is mislading.
There is a head surgeon who is a specialist in head surgery.

A chief surgeon, usually referred to as chief of surgery, oversees the surgical department of a medical facility (e.g., hospital, surgery center and the like). Managing a team of physicians, nurses and other medical staff, this professional implements and enforces all policies and procedures in an effort to provide the highest level of patient medical care.

disagree  GY Ren: such person in medical operations is a surgeon, not an operator.

agree  Carlis Hsu: (cont'd) thus eliminating the difference between them, particularly when a specific operation is in question. I've no idea what the case is in the UK but I'm certain that both a surgeon and an operator will do a good job here ;)
