Ergonomics and laparoscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
Operative laparoscopy has changed the concept of surgery from prolonged painful recuperative periods with long scars of open surgery to short stay, painless, and cosmetically satisfying surgery. This has been achieved at the expense of surgeons’ discomfort and fatigue, thus putting both the surgeon and patient at risk. Inadequate knowledge about ergonomics together with ergonomically deficient design of laparoscopic instruments has been cited as possible causes. This paper reviews the various ergonomic variables and recommendations to make laparoscopic surgery safer.

متن کاملRobotic-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site surgery in gynecology: initial report and technique.
Robotic surgery has greatly improved surgeon dexterity and ergonomics but has substantially increased the number and size of ports required. The typical robotic surgical procedure will use three 8-mm ports and two 12-mm ports. Single-port laparoscopy, also known as Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) surgery, is an attempt to further enhance cosmetic benefits and reduce morbidity of minimally ...
متن کاملVideo display during laparoscopy – where should it be placed?
INTRODUCTION During laparoscopy, the monitor is usually placed near the operating table, at eye level, which significantly affects hand-eye coordination. First, it is impossible for the surgeon to simultaneously observe the operative field and hand movement. Second, the axis of view of the endoscope rarely matches the natural axis of the surgeon's sight: it resembles a direct view into the oper...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery in Urologic Surgery
Since the introduction of laparoscopic surgery, the promise of lower postoperative morbidity and improved cosmesis has been achieved. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) potentially takes this further. Following the first human urological LESS report in 2007, numerous case series have emerged, as well as comparative studies comparing LESS with standard laparoscopy. However, comparative ...
