The present invention relates to a surgical table having a minimum number of function levels, pivot points and actuators and which is capable of achieving all desired surgical table movements. The surgical table includes a base portion which supports a vertical column whose height is adjustable by means of a first actuator. Pivotally supported at the top of the vertical column is a lateral tilt supporting level which may be tilted relative to the column by means of a second actuator. The lateral tilt level supporting structure is provided with a double acting hinge which supports the table top. The table top includes a back section and a seat section which are each attached to the pivot means. The back section may be pivoted relative to the pivot point by means of a third actuator, while the seat section may be pivoted relative to the pivot point by means of a fourth actuator. A leg section is pivotally attached to the seat section and may be pivoted relative thereto by means of a fifth actuator. In addition, a control means including a plurality of valves is disclosed which are effective to connect a plurality of hydraulic valves between a source of hydraulic fluid, a drain for hydraulic fluid and the cap ends and the rod ends of the respective valves to move the table into all desired positions.
