The Ergonomic Assessment of Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery is advanced surgical technique that reduced risk of infection and shorter post-operation recovery period. The surgeons must maintain certain postures to do sophisticated procedures, due to the specific characteristics of the operation, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) happened.. It may generate a negative impact on the health of the surgeons and the success of the operations. It may give a negative impact on the health of the surgeons and the success of the operations. The main purpose of this study is to avoid the surgeons cumulative trauma disorders (CTD) through the field survey. In the experiment, questionnaire, ergonomics checklists, EMG, and electrogoiometers were used to measure the MSD syndromes of operators. The result shows that 100％ of surgeons reported musculoskeletal discomfort after the surgeries. The highest prevalence segment is neck, followed by the shoulders, lower back. The result of checklist shows that some workstations had potential ergonomics hazards in Mini-Invasive Surgery and redesign the surgeons job and layout was recommended.
