Ergonomics in Robotic Surgery

Ergonomics in Robotic Surgery

This study is designed to answer if an ergonomist can configure a daVinci robot console to improve surgeon discomfort. Adjustments to the robot console will be surgeon specific as they are tailored to their individual body type. Measurements will be taken at the time of console configuration.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Fellowship trained, specialty board certified gynecologic surgeon.
• Robot used for hysterectomy until completion of vaginal cuff closure.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any non-robotic method to perform hysterectomy (laparotomy, non-robotic laparoscopic, vaginal approach).
