A self-donning surgical gown comprising a plurality of pockets positioned strategically along the shoulders and back to allow the user to insert his hands into the shoulder and waist pockets to secure the surgical gown to his shoulders and back, respectively, without exposing his hands and arms to the non-sterile environment outside the traditional sterile field, thereby effectively increasing the sterile field and allowing the user to self-don a surgical gown. The pockets and/or the back flaps of the surgical gown may comprise fasteners, such as adhesives, hook-and-loop fasteners, ties, magnets, buttons or the like to fasten the self-donning surgical gown to itself or the a garment worn by the user.
