Monocentric trial to evaluate differences in musculoskeletal and cognitive stress of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) vs. conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS). Demographic and personal data are collected and pseudonymized as well as video recordings are performed during surgery. Simultaneously, surface electromyography (EMG) and electrocardiography (ECG), motion tracking data are collected. Additionally, saliva cortisol, perceived discomfort and mental load will be assessed within certain time intervals. The surgeon is not disturbed in his activity and movement by the equipment.
Afterwards, the surgeon will be interviewed in a 15-minute standardized interview about the surgery process and the subjective stress sensitivity. Only routine interventions will be recorded, in case of unforeseen complications, the recording will be stopped immediately

| Median muscular load of the bilateral trapezius pars descendens muscle surface electromyography. | Muscle activity will be recorded using bipolar surface electromyography and is defined as the root-mean-square (RMS) of electrical muscle activity. Muscle activity will be normalized to an isometric voluntary maximum electrical activation (MVE) and the 50th percentile the normalized RMS will be calculated [percent MVE] | 75 Minutes |
| Static muscular load of the bilateral trapezius pars descendens muscle | Muscle activity will be recorded using bipolar surface electromyography and is defined as the root-mean-square (RMS) of electrical muscle activity. Muscle activity will be normalized to an isometric voluntary maximum electrical activation (MVE) and the 10th percentile of the normalized RMS [percent MVE] will be calculated. | 75 Minutes |
| sustained muscular activity of the bilateral trapezius pars descendens muscle | Muscle activity will be recorded using bipolar surface electromyography and is defined as the root-mean-square (RMS) of electrical muscle activity. Muscle activity will be normalized to an isometric voluntary maximum electrical activation (MVE) and the number of episodes (≥ 8min) of the normalized RMS above 0.5percent MVE [n] will be calculated. | 75 Minutes |
| Muscular rest time of the bilateral trapezius pars descendens muscle | Muscle activity will be recorded using bipolar surface electromyography and is defined as the root-mean-square (RMS) of electrical muscle activity. Muscle activity will be normalized to an isometric voluntary maximum electrical activation (MVE) and the frequency [n] and relative duration [percent] of the normalized RMS lower than 0.5percent MVE will be calculated. | 75 Minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Median muscular load of the bilateral extensor digitorum and flexor carpi radials muscles | Muscle activity will be recorded using bipolar surface electromyography and is defined as the root-mean-square (RMS) of electrical muscle activity. Muscle activity will be normalized to an isometric voluntary maximum electrical activation (MVE) and the 50th percentile the normalized RMS will be calculated [percent MVE] |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Body height [cm] | The Nordic Questionnaire will be used to determine subjects body height Physical activity [hours of sports per week work experience [years] musculoskeletal complaints in the last 12 month, last week, and point prevalence [n]](streamdown:incomplete-link) | 5 Minutes |
