Save our surgeons (SOS) – an explorative comparison of surgeons’ muscular and cardiovascular demands, posture, perceived workload and discomfort during robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery

Abstract: Purpose Conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) imposes an increased risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Technical innovations, such as robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS), may provide ergonomic benefits. We compare the surgeon`s work-related demands of CLS vs RALS for benign hysterectomies. Methods Five specialists (3 females, 2 males) each performed four RALS and four CLS as part of their daily clinical routine. During the surgical p… Show more

“…The overall workload (NASA-TLX) among the surgeons in this study (47.6) corresponds very well (47.5) to that from the study of Krämer et al [55], and is close to those of the studies of Thurston et al [56] and Haney et al [57] (i.e., 40.6 and 50.4, respectively). We may interpret the current study to have reached a similar moderate overall workload as the three previous studies [55][56][57].…”

We may interpret the current study to have reached a similar moderate overall workload as the three previous studies [55][56][57]. The pattern of the six workload dimensions strongly agreed with a previous study in which 40 surgeons were exposed to a simulated laparoscopic that lasted about 26 min [57] and reported the lowest mean value for frustration (40.0) and the highest mean value for effort (51.7) as dimensions of perceived workload.…”

“…While this study serves as a good indicator of the design’s functionality, it is still uncertain how the arm support improves the experience of surgeons within the operating room. Further research, incorporating practicing surgeons as participants, is needed to determine the clinical utility and impact of the arm support on behavior (e.g., clutching of the handle vs instruments), surgery outcomes and ergonomics [ 15 ]. Secondly the trial times for the short marble sorting task are not representative of the extended durations of surgical operations that can last for hours.…”
