Ergonomics study for surgeons doing GI surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at how surgeons' body positions during gastrointestinal (stomach and bowel) surgery can cause strain or injury, and tests possible solutions. It may help you if you are a surgeon who performs or assists in GI operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a surgeon who performs or assists in GI surgery (open, laparoscopic, or robotic)
- You and your patient both agree to be in the study
- You do not already have a severe muscle or bone problem that limits your work

This study compares how much physical strain surgeons experience during different types of robot-assisted surgeries. It looks at two types of surgery: rectal removal (colorectal) and prostate removal (urological). The goal is to see which robotic system is easier on the surgeon's body.
This study looks at how surgeons can work more comfortably and safely during gynecologic procedures. Researchers will observe and measure surgeon posture and movement during laparoscopic (camera-assisted) and open surgeries to identify ways to reduce strain and injury.
This trial uses AI to analyze surgeon posture and movements during acute care surgeries, with the goal of improving ergonomics and reducing physical strain. It may help identify better surgical practices for both surgeons and patients.
This trial tests new force feedback instruments in the da Vinci 5 robot during surgery. It aims to see if they help surgeons perform procedures more precisely for conditions like cancer or other diseases.
This study collects videos from minimally invasive surgeries (using small tools and cameras) to help doctors learn and improve surgical techniques. If you are having such a surgery, your de-identified video and medical data may be used for research.
This study looks at emergency abdominal surgeries in Saudi Arabia to understand how patients recover and what factors affect their outcomes. If you had an urgent operation on your stomach or intestines, this trial may help improve care for others like you.
