“…More detailed guidelines for different variables in the operating room are stated concerning the table height [4,9,11,16], the monitor placement [8,9,13,[15][16][17], the instrument's handle design [1,3,5,10,16], the foot pedals [20], and the physical discomfort of the operating team [2,10,12,18,19]. Still, the question is whether these guidelines are known and used.…”

Background: This study aimed to obtain an answer for the question: Are ergonomic guidelines applied in the operating room and what are the consequences? Methods: A total of 1,292 questionnaires were sent by email or handed out to surgeons and residents. The subjects worked mainly in Europe, performing laparoscopic and/or thoracoscopic procedures within the digestive, thoracic, urologic, gynecologic, and pediatric disciplines. Results: In response, 22% of the questionnaires were returned. Overall, the respondents reported discomfort in the neck, shoulders, and back (almost 80%). There was not one specific cause for the physical discomfort. In addition, 89% of the 284 respondents were unaware of ergonomic guidelines, although 100% stated that they find ergonomics important. Conclusion:The lack of ergonomic guidelines awareness is a major problem that poses a tough position for ergonomics in the operating room.

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Conclusions: Telerobotic endoscopic surgery is ergonomically more favorable, equally intuitive, and no more mentally stressful than manual endoscopic surgery.

“…Bu tarz kısıtlamalar cerrahın özgürlüğünde azalma ve operasyon esnasında daha dikkatli ve konsantre olması nedeniyle statik duruşa neden olmaktadır. Bu statik duruş kas ve tendonlarda laktik asit ve toksinler birikmekte bu nedenle ağrı ve yorgunluğa yol açmaktadır (12)(13)(14). Avrupa ve Amerika'da yapılan çalışmalarda statik duruşun laparaskopik cerrahlar üzerinde %8-12 servikal ve üst ekstremite ağrısı, %9-18 arasında ise kas spazmlarına yol açtığı gösterilmiştir (11).…”
