German term or phrase: operative Verrichtung
"Die Vorbereitung (sowie die Nacharbeiten)zu den operativen Verrichtungen führte sie gewissenhaft und verlässlich durch."

From a work reference for a doctor's assistant. Are the 'Verrichtungen' actual operations or duties of the assistant?

I see the entire sentence as: She carried out preparations (as well as follow-up tasks) for operations conscientiously and reliably.
