Ergonomics in Laparoscopy

Abstract

Ergonomics studies aptly fitting a worker to his job or how the environment is more conducive to a laparoscopic surgeon. In 1949, the phrase was fully defined and benefited and protected many aspects of human activity [1]. In the context of laparoscopy, the importance of ergonomics cannot be overstated. Suturing time can be reduced by using proper ergonomics, according to studies [2]. Ergonomically designed items have been found to alleviate pressure-related chronic discomfort in surgeons [3]. This article discusses fundamental principles and procedures such as triangulation, ideal coaxial alignment, doctor-patient drawbacks, and how to forego these challenges with recent technological breakthroughs.
