Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Surgeons Performing Minimally Invasive Surgery: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: A systematic review of musculoskeletal disorder prevalence among surgeons performing minimally invasive surgery found a 74% prevalence of physical complaints among laparoscopic surgeons, however, the low response rates and the high inconsistency across studies leave some uncertainty, suggesting an actual prevalence of between 22% and 74%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and safety of uterine manipulators in laparoscopic surgery: a review.

TL;DR: It is clear that uterine manipulators offer the easiest way to handle the uterus during surgery, however, gynecologists should choose the manipulator that best suits the type of surgery that is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of laparoscopic graspers with enhanced haptic feedback on applied forces: a randomized comparison with conventional graspers.

TL;DR: The availability of enhanced haptic feedback enabled participants to operate with significantly reduced interaction force between instrument and tissues, which is expected to have multiple important clinical implications, such as less tissue damage, fewer complications, shorter operation times, and improved ergonomics.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Physical Workload of Surgeons: A Comparison of SILS and Conventional Laparoscopy

TL;DR: Performing SILS versus CLS increases the objectively measured physical workload of surgeons particularly in the back, neck, and shoulder muscles, with significantly higher muscle activity in the musculus (M) longissimus, M trapezius pars descendens, and the M deltoideus pars clavicularis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ergonomics of laparoscopic graspers and the importance of haptic feedback: the surgeons' perspective

TL;DR: The high prevalence of physical complaints directly related to Laparoscopic instruments among laparoscopic surgeons is still relevant, and the potential benefits of enhanced haptic feedback in laparoscopy are recognized by laparoscope specialists.
