“…LC has been used in many studies as a sample procedure to study the working status of laparoscopic surgeons with respect to OR ergonomics 34 – 36 . In previous research, surgical videos, combined with other tools such as rapid upper limb assessment (RULA), have been employed to study physician gestures and stress statics 36 , 37 . In contrast to other studies, our study aimed to explore both the physical and mental workloads of laparoscopic surgeons in different LC phases and the correlative relationship between these workloads.…”

Surgeons’ mental and physical workloads are major focuses of operating room (OR) ergonomics, and studies on this topic have generally focused on either mental workload or physical workload, ignoring the interaction between them. Previous studies have shown that physically demanding work may affect mental performance and may be accompanied by impaired mental processing and decreased performance. In this study, 14 participants were recruited to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) procedures in a virtual simulator. Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals of the bilateral trapezius, bicipital, brachioradialis and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) muscles and eye-tracking signals were acquired during the experiment. The results showed that the least square means of muscle activity during the LC phases of surgery in an all-participants mixed effects model were 0.79, 0.81, and 0.98, respectively. The observed muscle activities in the different phases exhibited some similarity, while marked differences were found between the forearm bilateral muscles. Regarding mental workload, significant differences were observed in pupil dilation between the three phases of laparoscopic surgery. The mental and physical workloads of laparoscopic surgeons do not appear to be generally correlated, although a few significant negative correlations were found. This result further indicates that mental fatigue does markedly interfere with surgeons’ operating movements.

“…The study characteristics are presented in Table S2. Six of the 12 studies reviewed focused on laparoscopic procedures (Al‐Hakim, ; Hafford et al., ; Murji et al., ; Sevdalis, Hull, & Birnbach, ; Silvennoinen, Antikainen, & Mecklin, ; Stavroulis, Cutner, & Liao, ) and 6 focused on robotic‐assisted surgeries (Allers et al., ; Catchpole et al., ; Friedman, Lendvay, & Hannaford, ; Jing & Honey, ; McCarroll et al., ; Randell et al., ).

“…The 12 studies reviewed represented divergent types of research designs. Three studies used direct observational methods (Al‐Hakim, ; Catchpole et al., ; Sevdalis et al., ), while two studies combined video‐recording observations with another method (Allers et al., ; Silvennoinen et al., ). Two studies analyzed records (Friedman et al., ; McCarroll et al., ); two used interviews (Jing & Honey, ; Randell et al., ), and three used questionnaires (Hafford et al., ; Murji et al., ; Stavroulis et al., ) to collect the data.…”

“…In surgeries of laparoscopic focus, the participants for three of the studies involved operating room personnel and surgeons (Hafford et al., ; Murji et al., ; Stavroulis et al., ). Three studies observed laparoscopic surgeries and the factors affecting safety during the procedure (Al‐Hakim, ; Sevdalis et al., ; Silvennoinen et al., ). Of the six studies that focused on robotic surgeries, two reported on identification of safety issues observed during 99 robotic surgical procedures (Allers et al., ; Catchpole et al., ).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this integrative literature review is to examine the evidence on factors affecting patient safety during robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries. Design: Systematic review of papers published between 2011 and 2016 that identified factors affecting safety during robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries, in the areas of colorectal, general, urological, and gynecological surgeries. Methods: A systematic literature search of the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, and Medline databases were performed. Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria outlining factors affecting safety in robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries. All 12 studies selected were quality appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. Findings: Using thematic analysis, the outcomes from the 12 studies were categorized into three thematic categories. Intraoperative communication, teamwork, and disruptions are the key factors affecting patient safety during robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries. Conclusions: This integrative literature review identifies a dearth of evidence examining factors affecting patient safety during robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries. It draws attention to the complexities with teamwork, intraoperative communication and disruptions during robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries. Although robotic-assisted surgery is generally seen as safe and effective, this review highlights the need for education and training that focuses on non-technical skills development, disruption prevention and alertness in anticipating and minimising risk. Clinical Relevance: The evidence from this review identifies the different demands and diverse challenges in maintaining safety during roboticassisted and laparoscopic surgery. Although specific technical knowledge and skills are essential, this review highlights the importance of developing new ways of thinking with regard to assessment and management of disruptions, developing different teamwork patterns and communication skills, and overcoming challenges introduced during technology advanced surgeries. Nurses in the perioperative setting have an increased responsibility to continue professional development and remain vigilant to factors affecting patient safety. Early identification and management of factors leading to disruptions is imperative in the provision of safe perioperative care.Mathew et al.

Within the framework of learning from errors this study focused on how operative risks and potential errors are addressed in guidance to surgical residents during authentic surgical operations. The overall purpose is to improve patient safety and to diminish medical complications resulting from possible operating errors. Further in the process of the optimal contexts for instruction aimed at preventing risks and errors in the practical hospital environment was evaluated. The five authentic surgical operations were analyzed, all of which were organized as training sessions for surgical residents. The data (collected via video-recoding) were analyzed by a consultant surgeon and an education expert working together. The results showed that the risks and potential errors in the surgical operations were rarely addressed in guidance during operations. The guidance provided mostly concerned technical issues, such as instrument handling, and exploration of critical anatomical structures. There was little guidance focusing on situation-based risks and potential errors, such as unexpected procedural challenges, teamwork and practical decision making. The findings showed that optimal context of learning about risks and potential errors of surgical operation is not always the authentic operation context. The study was conducted in an authentic surgical operation-cum-training context. The originality of the study derives from its focus on guidance related to risk and error prevention in surgical workplace learning. The findings can be used to create a meaningful learning environment-including powerful guidance-for practice-based surgical learning, maximally addressing patient safety, but giving possibilities also for other training options.
