Ergonomic challenges for surgeons
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how surgeons can be more comfortable during operations, which may help prevent pain and injuries. It tests different solutions to improve the physical setup for surgeons performing belly surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a surgeon who performs or helps with belly surgery.
- Your operations may be open, laparoscopic (keyhole), or robotic.
- You do not currently have a severe muscle or bone problem that limits your work.
- You and your patient both agree to take part.

This study looks at how surgeons' bodies are affected when they do surgery using standard laparoscopic (small-incision) tools compared with robotic systems. It compares two types of robotic surgery – one for rectal removal and one for prostate removal – to see which method is less physically stressful for the surgeon.
This trial compares different surgical techniques—open, laparoscopic (keyhole), and robotic—for emergency abdominal surgery. By joining, you may help doctors learn which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes for patients like you.
This trial tests a robotic system that assists surgeons during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. It may help make surgery more precise and could mean less pain and faster recovery.
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 study looks at how OBGYN doctors and trainees position themselves during surgery to reduce strain and injury. It may help improve comfort and safety in the operating room.
This study looks at how surgeries are done for common belly and chest problems in adults. By taking part, you help researchers learn how to improve care for future patients.
