Brief Summary:
Work-related musculoskeletal pain and injury is a growing concern in surgery Vaginal surgery has unique ergonomic risks but no studies have addressed the potential for an exercise regimen to reduce physical strain by vaginal surgeons
Detailed Description:
Surgical ergonomics is a burgeoning field spurred by the recognition of the high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal pain and injury in practicing surgeons including obstetriciangynecologists Surgery is often a demanding physical task and the muscles and joints that are stressed vary by the surgical approach Vaginal surgery has unique ergonomic challenges particularly for assistants who may need to laterally bend their torsos to visualize the surgical field while still holding retractors This is often a compromising physical position for the back the shoulders and sometimes the neck which increases the risk of acute or chronic musculoskeletal injury The risk of injury can be thought of as a discrepancy between the demands of the task and the individuals physical capabilities Surgeons injury risk may be decreased if their physical capabilities can be improved through exercise Most existing publications on surgical ergonomics have focused on raising awareness and on environmental changes such as optimizing surgeon posture during the case or introducing micro-breaks and stretching Few publications have assessed a structured exercise program with the goal of decreasing surgeon pain or fatigue during and after surgery To our knowledge no studies have addressed this in vaginal surgery
